Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (GDMBR) - Segment:
Cedar Creek Campground to Seeley Lake, Montana; August, 2015
Highlights
Day 3: It was a perfect day; sunshine, birds singing, mostly riding downhill, and the bike was operating without any issues.
We just soaked in the joys of Life and Mother Nature.
Day 3: Lolo NF Roadside Camp to Seeley Lake (Town), Montana

Above Left: Northbound Cyclists Ahead.
Above Right: These Gentlemen were riding the GDMBR from the south to north as Through Riders. We shared information; we each had a Bridge Out crossing ahead of us. They noticed the Rohloff Hub and told us that we'd love it; it only gets better as it breaks-in.
Above Left: Northbound Cyclist.
Above Right: We were southbound along Morrell Creek, MT.
Above Left: We reached NF-477, which runs from the town of Seeley Lake to Cottonwood Lakes and eventually to Lincoln - We will take this route to Lincoln on the following day. At this moment, we departed the GDMBR to go to Seeley Lake (the town) to buy supplies and perform bike maintenance.
Above Right: Wonderment.
Above Left: Nature Calls.
Above Right: A trailhead.
Above Left: Riding into Seeley Lake.
Above Right: That crossroad ahead is Montana Highway 83 and we were already at the northern edge of town, Seeley Lake.
We had a good journey and all of the new equipment seemed to operate correctly. We arrived earlier than expected (to Seeley Lake, MT). We would check into a hotel, clean up ourselves, and shop for food and supplies. We would return to the GDMBR tomorrow.
