The Last Best Ride - Montana Gravel Race

We rode this yesterday.  https://www.thelastbestridemt.com/

Jess Cerra and Sam Boardman put it on.  This was the first year.  Ted King won the long course by seconds over Howard Grotts.

We did the short course and it was plenty for a couple of old people.  47 miles and 4300 ft of climbing. Gorgeous views of Montana's remote backcountry.  Lots of fairly rideable FS roads and double-track. Some fast,  gnarly, rocky descents and one bit of very technical, rocky, rooty singletack near the top of the second to last climb.

Most of the racers I saw were from out of state.  Would highly recommend it if you can get up here for next year's running.
