 I look back at going to the Sun highway, being the last one up the mountain, and grateful for my ride.



How could it be any better than this.  For sure it was a grind but I worked my way up with Abby pushing me forward.  Crossing the top with Ann running beside me.  Wow!  I approached with all the ladies from the tour cheering me on.  Yes I was tearful.



 We are officially in the middle of no where as this sign from down town Glasgow, Mt says.  Lots of smoke and much heat.  We rest today and back on the bike tomorrow.  We will be in Wolf point tomorrow afternoon.  I love our guides.  Abby and Emily are making each of our rides possible.  Above and beyond.

We are now in Havre, Very nice lodging.  Each day our guide has given us a task, todays task is to Get 2 photo selfies with a dinosaur and some interesting signs. 

   





 Sorry for being so delinquent.  The ride presses on so I will do some back tracking.  We made it to Malta today.  92 miles which started out fast and cool our average speed 14 to 15 miles per hour.  We rode along the Milk River on Highway 2.  The freight trains running by us throughout the day.  At 32 mile into the ride I jumped into the sag so I could take a bump up the road 20 miles.  I was happy to do so as there was new chip seal being put down on the road.  The Sag dropped us off on a quite ten mile road which paralleled Hwy2.  The day was heating up fast by 11a.m. it was over 90 and we were wetting ourselves down.

 Hi light today is Kootenai falls. We left Trout Creek at 50 degrees to arrive here at 84 but it felt like 98.

 We left Sandpoint on a bike path.  Quiet early morning ride.  Lynn was our sag driver.  Our breakfast was weak but with the snack table we had much to eat.  There was some hills to climb.  We rolled along the clark fork river it was stunning scenery. We entered into Montana today so excited to be home.  By the third sag I was exhausted and we still had 19 miles togo.  64 was out total miles.  Sandy and I trudged on into the heat.  The Sag circled around us a couple times to make sure we were safe.  Tomorrow we head to Libby.  We look forward to cooler temperatures. Hopefully.! The second post was todays ride.

Todays ride: Incredible ride today, I got dropped off at the top of Sherman Pass. As I ascended into the trees I rode next to Sherman creek the cools steam seemed to cool the air. As I rounded a bend I looked beside me and there was the Columbia river gorge.  Wow! As I crossed the Columbia river I walked my bike.  I rode over 40 Miles today.
