Shortly after getting over and down from Rogers Pass we hit road construction and 7 miles of this kind of stuff. I had mud all over my bike, bags, and myself. When we got to to the flag guy I asked if we could go on through. He said no, we needed to wait for the pilot car. When the line of cars and trucks pulled out behind the pilot car they promptly left us. Two or three groups of rigs behind the pilot car went by us before we got through it. I tried talking him into letting us ride in the pilot car with our bikes in the back, but he said to much liability.
