August 26, Bozeman, MT, Complete Change

Since last week when we reached Yellowstone, we’ve been sightseers rather than active cyclists. Now we have a more radical change.
We are shutting down our trip and returning home. My Mom has had an emergency open heart surgery and quadruple bypass procedure. She also has very significant blockage of both carotid arteries that is still going to need attention. The first procedure went well and she’s in good shape right now but it looks like she’s going to be in care for a while. Family comes first, of course and it would be impossible to keep riding while knowing that we should be home with Mom & all the rest of the family.
Thank you to everyone who has been following our trip and our blog. Thanks for your emails, your comments and your support. Thanks to all the great people we met over the last month in Oregon, Idaho, Montana & Wyoming. It has been an amazing experience, beyond description really, and we’ll go back to it sometime in the future when we can.
Michael
