Meadowlark Lake Lodge - Buffalo 43miles / 2,283 ft climb The view from our cabin this morning  Having climbed so much yesterday, ‘downhill all the way’ was how we convinced ourselves today’s ride would be. We conveniently forgot the huge hill at the beginning of today’s ride and the other five, not insignificant hills … Continue reading Cycle Across America – Day 34

Ten Sleep to Meadowlark Lake lodge 21 miles / 4,450ft climb Of course it was tough! That’s why we split the ride between Ten Sleep and Buffalo, foregoing our rest day later in the week to cycle 4,500 ft up the Big Horn Mountain range and to stop, rather than then have to cycle another … Continue reading Cycle Across America – Day 33

Basin to Ten Sleep 41miles / 1509ft climb Combined, the heat, hills and headwinds of today led to a hellishly hard ride. Quite possibly the most challenging so far and not one that we had anticipated would be nearly as challenging. At ‘only’ 40 miles and with 1509 ft climb to do, we anticipated a … Continue reading Cycle Across America – Day 32

The journey of a lifetime - 1 month on the road One month ago we set off from Seaside Oregon, and today, 5 states later we are in cattle country Wyoming. We have completed 30% of the total ride and during that time we’ve had daily treats of spectacular scenery and wildlife, which hopefully Alison’s … Continue reading By Paul Broekman

Cody - Basin 59 miles / 922 ft climb Our progress to date https://videopress.com/v/WcvTGmFk?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true 59 miles / ft climb After having my bike fully serviced, I was looking forward to a smooth and efficient ride today. I was keen to set off by 7.30am as the temperature was set to soar in the afternoon. I … Continue reading Cycle Across America – Day 31

Section 3: Lolo to Cody 6th to 16th June Amazing and/but extra busy. There are 8 of us for this section of the trip - Julia and Paula from the UK and Marianne and Steve from Boston. Great and/but extra busy. We don’t always stay in exactly the same accommodation. Fine and/but extra busy There … Continue reading By Caroline Broekman

Cody The term ‘rest day’ once again did not truly convey ‘rest’ but it didn’t involve cycling (except to the bike shop and back for a service) so it was restful in that respect. It was also an opportunity to catch up with life admin, laundry and folks at home. Thinking of home, I’m feeling … Continue reading Cycle Across America – Day 30

This is an extract from Julia and Paula’s blog who have been cycling with the team for the past two weeks. It’s their last day today. 16/6/25Destination: Cody, Wyoming.Miles: 51.03Total Miles Cycled: 474.34 Title: The 10 percenters.

Pahaska Tepee Resort to Cody 16th June 2025 51 Miles / 958ft climbed Team Cure Parkinson’s Ready for a Day’s Cycling https://videopress.com/v/gqO25N3s?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true Anticipating an ‘easy’ ride today we planned a leisurely 9am start. A few photographs of the group, a little pfaffing, the unexpected headwinds, the search for a food stop en route and the … Continue reading Cycle Across America – Day 29

Yellowstone - Canyon Village to Pahaska Tepee Resort 15th June 2025 https://videopress.com/v/1vJNjBaN?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true 48 Miles / 2,083ft climb Thinking we had seen much that Yellowstone had to offer, we set off for our day’s ride out of the national park, stopping off in wooded cabins for one night at the Pahaska Tepee resort on the way … Continue reading Cycle Across America – Day 28

Driftwaters Resort to West Yellowstone 35 miles / 1452ft climb Because we were under no time pressure today, we packed in the morning instead of the evening, gave ourselves an extra hour in bed and had frequent stops along the route so despite the lower mileage today, we arrived at our destination in the late … Continue reading Cycle Across America – Day 25

Virginia City to Driftwaters Resort 45 miles / 1667ft climb We reached our first 1,000 miles by the end of today! Last night when reviewing the route for today, my heart sank when I saw the steep four mile climb immediately out of Virginia city. I knew immediately that this would thwart my day and … Continue reading Cycle Across America – Day 24

Wisdom to Dillon 65 miles / 2002ft climbed Setting off We set off from Wisdom to cycle along the one and only quiet road to Dillon. No chance of taking a wrong turn today. Still in the Rockies, we are surrounded by snow capped mountains every direction we looked. Along the way, stopping in Jackson … Continue reading Cycle Across America – Day 22

Darby to Wisdom 53 miles / 3363ft climb Super hero status for today has to go to John. When a 8.75 mile hill averaging 6% with my bike fully loadedwas getting the better of me, he went ahead to the top of the hill with his fully loaded bike, dropped off his panniers and came … Continue reading Cycle Across America – Day 21

Lolo to Darby 58 miles / 1339ft climb We say farewell to Jim and Denise. It has been an absolute joy to cycle with them and spend time with them again and their support for us over the past few days definitely gives them superhero status too. A new chapter of this adventure begins today … Continue reading Cycle Across America – Day 20

Lochsa Lodge to Lolo 44 miles / 1756ft climb https://videopress.com/v/TMNBNW2p?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true Another lovely day, a long climb up and over the Lolo Pass, not nearly as tough as it looked when we drove it yesterday. There’s a strange optical illusion on many of these mountains where the road ahead appears to be going downhill despite my … Continue reading Cycle Across America – Day 19

Rest Day - Thursday 5th June We’re are now cycling through Idaho where generally speaking, the Northern part is on the Pacific Time Zone and the Southern part is on the Mountain Time Zone. When we reach Lolo, we will officially move from the Pacific Time Zone to Mountain Time Zone and our watches and … Continue reading Confused.Com – Day 18

Winchester to Kooksia, 74 miles / 2582ft climb https://videopress.com/v/jqVzb9rX?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true Lots of miles and lots of hills today but it is the memories made and shared that will stay with me long after the huffing and puffing that eventually saw me complete the challenge for today anyway. In contrast to yesterday, the hills were gradual inclines, … Continue reading Cycling Across America – Day 16

The Long Grind  Lewiston to Winchester 42 miles / 4,265ft climb To use a football euphemism, today was a game of two halves. The initial ride out of Lewiston was along Snake River complete with prairie dogs, through Hells Canyon State Park and then along a quiet interstate road. Our luck changed when we started … Continue reading By John Anderson – Day 15

  The good…… Having our son Mark with us as our support for the first week. Portland - everything, but particulary the Japanese gardens. Meeting up with John and Alison on day 7 and the confirmation we had 4 functioning bikes between us. Historic Oregon US30 route, spectacular waterfalls. Walla Walla, a town so nice … Continue reading By Paul Broekman

Walla Walla to Dayton 29 Miles / 1473ft climb An early start as the extreme heat and strong winds that were forecast for the afternoon were not conducive to enjoyable cycling. The plan was to get a few fast miles under our belts before it became oppressively hot. As ever, the best laid plans….. From … Continue reading Cycling Across America – Day 13

Zero / 0 / Nil / Zip / Nada / Not one single mile pedalled today by the Andersons. A small amount pedalled by the Broekmans. On a spare day in Walla Walla, the result was exactly the same for all of us . It seemed only right in a region famous for a wide … Continue reading Cycling Across America – Day 12

Week One Impressions 19th - 28th May Travelling with bikes in cardboard boxes is “fun”. Portland Oregon is an interesting city - juxtaposition of wealth and homelessness, some lovely eatery areas and sports facilities and a stunning Japanese garden. Oregon state from Portland all the way to The Dalles has some of the best scenic … Continue reading By Caroline Broekman

Umatilla to Walla Walla 55 Miles / 1375 ft climb We keep our eyes on the weather apps, so that we can prepare for each day that lies ahead. The 35 mile an hour gusts of wind forecast for today caused a slight angst. A headwind that strong would make 55 miles today immeasurably more … Continue reading Cycle Across America – Day 11
