Our trip started Monday at the border at noon. After the ten miles to Eureka we felt this trip was going to be too easy: paved roads with mild grade. Then at mile twenty-ish it started to climb. Then the pavement ended. Then it climbed some more. In summary, Montana is very hilly. Yesterday we were intending to throw 2 riding days together but we could barely stand up after finishing the 30 miles to the first campsite. Today we left camp early (at 8) and finished day 3 to Whitefish by 11. We ate McDonalds; it is better than Canadian McDonalds. We'll probably continue to Columbia Falls after our internet break
I miss orange juice
In case you are wondering how bikes compare to cars in terms of mileage, we are averaging about 10miles/pop tart. Not bad...

I hear Stagg chili gives you better mileage.
ReplyDeleteI as well ordered a GPS, for kayaking, I think I'll take up geocaching this summer.
Dave Matthews was on CBC radio today, poignant as ever, describing a monkey's bait and tackle as the most colourful red and blue he has ever seen, it made him want to salute.
