faber / itileman /&nbsp\\;others local&nbsp\\;-
If you are interested to ride all or part of&nbsp\\;this loop with us or just meet in Red Lodge for some coffee please let me know and we&nbsp\\;will make some time.
I appreciate all of your inputs, and we will be watching the fire info here and on the internet.

Would love to, but I'm leaving town this weekend and will be back 8/10. Otherwise, give me your schedule and I'll try to make it.

There are some air quality issues there at the moment due to the Cascade Fire just outside of Red Lodge:

Clete,

I am getting back into the Big Sky on Saturday and may be jetlagged all to hell. But I have been *dreaming* about getting back on my bike. PM your details, ETA at Red Lodge, etc. It'd be great to meet up and ride some.

Default Thanks faber / itilman

I just wanted to thank those that replied to my request for information.
Especially faber and itilman, the ride was epic and went exactly as planned. We left Cooke City at 6:00am and returned back at 11:00am. Very little traffic except on the downhill side of BT. We stopped at the cafe in Red Lodge for breakfast and got gas on the way out of town.
Can't thank you guys enough for helping it was a great part of the whole Sturgis trip.
Faber - the suggested stops in Yellowstone worked out perfect on both sides of the the park.
