Notice the hills behind me. Up and down, up and down. But they are less extreme and I only had to walk once for a couple hundred yards. Went 57 miles today, and it was a pretty good day. I was feeling pretty strong after that nice rest day yesterday. A lady pulled off in front of us and announced as we got to the car that she was a “Warm Showers” member and loved keeping bicyclists like us in her home. I thought, “super, she must live just up the road and we will have a free place to stay and a great meal to boot!”. Then she told us she lived in Wyoming and assumed our trip was taking us there. We informed her we were going through North Dakota and would have to miss her. We chatted for a bit about her husbands bicycle trip he was on in Canada, and then off we went. I thought, nice visit, bicycle riders sure are nice people! We are staying in a little Motel in Stanford, Montana. The town is listed as 150 population and not much here. Motel is inexpensive but clean and we will sleep well. Our plan tomorrow is to pedal 102 miles. That will be our longest day so far. We ride a gradual uphill for 60 miles and then gradual downhill for 40. We will see how that goes.
What! More hills???
