I’m less than a month away from my Ride Across Montana (RAM), and my excitement is building along with my nerves. My training is going well, and the logistics are coming together, but there’s always the self-doubt that comes along with the unknown. I’ve done a few mulit-day bike tours, but never one as long as this. On the other hand, it’s a ride, not a race. No one will have a clock on me. I just have to keep moving, and I’ll have plenty of daylight following the summer solstice.
So far, I’ve logged over 50 hours in the saddle in preparation, and I have a little less than three weeks to train hard before I shut it down and take a few recovery days before the ride begins on June 25th.
Here’s a list of MUS stops on my tour:
- Monday, June 26th. Flathead Valley CC, Kalispell
- Thursday, June 29th. Great Falls College MSU
- Friday, June 30th. Central Agricultural Research Center MSU, Moccasin
- Monday, July 3rd. Dawson CC, Glendive & Eastern Agricultural Research Center MSU, Sidney
We’re working on some informal meet & greets at each stop, so if you’re at one of these locations, I look forward to seeing you! More info will be forthcoming as the RAM approaches!

Great pictures! We live in such a glorious state! Sad you won’t be stopping in Missoula, but looking forward to following your journey.
You KNOW that you have all of Billings sending good vibes your way. Thanks for sharing the pics, and hope to see more! GO RAM!!
