The Five Corners Run 2010

This year, we will be traveling along the borders of the United States; from southern California to Brownsville, Texas- to Key West, Florida to the northern border of Maine- across the Great Lakes into Canada, to northwestern Washington, and finally back home.

12,000 miles - 30 states - 3 countries.

We call our little jaunt the Five Corners Run…

Glasgow

Day: 45
Destination: Glasgow, Montana
Route: Highway 2
Miles Ridden: 286    Total Miles: 10,458

Points of Interest:
  • Rolling hills and valleys of Montana

For the second day in a row, we were able to ride without jackets. It was a very nice short sleeve day, with little wind, about 75 in the morning and about 90 in the afternoon. A little warmer than yesterday, where it hit about 85 degrees. We were fortunate that the conditions were good, since our new friend Rodney tried to poison us with martinis last night. Today's ride took us through two Indian reservations, and gave us some great views of the valleys below. Mostly farmland and prairies with native grasses, lakes and streams. A very nice day. We stopped early today, since the towns west are small and it was not likely we would find a hotel. Tomorrow, we'll put on about 400 miles, but the weather is expected to be very nice.
