Somewere in Montana...The 18 riders on the Big Ride Across America for the American Lung Association will spend the Fourth of July going a whopping 112 miles from Sheridan to Gilette, Wyoming. This gigantic ride is the longest single day on the 48-day trip. The riders still have three more big days in the road before the next rest stop in Rapid City, South Dakota. That break comes on July 7.

"We're supposed to have a headwind. I will try to ride fast, ride hard, and get in with time to rest before our big 112 mile century from Sheridan to Gillette the next day. Time to sleep," said our local rider, Larissa Powers.

Here are photos once more from the road.
