By the way, my wife and I often ride in Yellowstone. The scenery is spectacular. Twenty years ago the roads were awful, but they have been repaired and now sport a nice wide shoulder in most areas. There's a lot of traffic through the busy summer months, but it's not too daunting because the speed limit is 45 mph. They even have a few bike-only days during the spring.MT cyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451590809473759574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-20194273412580926692014-08-07T09:05:41.848-07:002014-08-07T09:05:41.848-07:00MT--That's a chapter of our history few people...MT--That's a chapter of our history few people know about.

The 25th Infantry U.S. Bicycle Corps, an all-black regiment, pedaled from Yellowstone National Park to St. Louis, Mo., Imagine the reception they received along the way. http://www.nrhc.org/history/25thInfantry.htmlMT cyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451590809473759574noreply@blogger.com
