Holy f%$k your either super hardcore or super dumb j/k. How much money in fuel??? We can fly out of PA and be at the Bozeman airport in around 6 hours of flying time. Have never paid more than $490 for a round trip ticket and thats on the expensive side. Props to your crew for making that drive, no F'n way I would keep doing that.

900 miles 15.5 hours to Centennial, WY

Average 45-90 mins depending on what mountians. Cascades are steep with lots of trees and underbrush with the exception of Mt.Baker which has glaciers and no trees at higher elevation. Ride twice a week with a few extended trips a year.

I almost feel bad hearing what some of you drive to get to the mountains. Wow, that's some time in a crowded truck for sure. Less than 90 minutes for me if the roads are good. I80 from Cheyenne to Laramie sucks balls..alot. Closed for two days last week. Mostly due to the wind. We don't call them the "Blowies" for nothing. lol

12+ for us. Usually get side tracked going through the greater billings area. Dancing ladies on either side of town tend to side track us.

It's not the 9 hours of driving time that bothers me so much. It's the price of DIESEL FUEL that gets me wound up !!!! >>>>.

 

[MacGyver]

12 hours for us about 1800 miles round trip and $800.00 worth of diesel

 

[turbo800]

I guess since there is no < less than 1hr to pick from, we live in the mountains. We unload in 15min or less.

Some of the driving you guys do is just plain nuts! If we feel like riding new terrain no more than 2.5~3.0 hrs.
