He lied

imageThe fellow in Lewistown, Montana who told us it was all downhill from there to the Atlantic was not telling the truth. Notice the picture that I took of what was on my cell phone that is today’s route. The blue line at the bottom is the elevation profile. All those squiggles represent a hill and most were several hundred feet in elevation change. We would grind our way to the top at 4 mph and then shoot down the other side at 20+ mph. We did that well over 20 times. We rode 76 miles doing that, but took a cold shower in Jordan, Montana where we are staying, and now I feel pretty good. Tomorrow looks like pretty much the same kind of day. We had planned on riding 109 miles tomorrow, but after today decided to shorten it up to 66 miles.

    Dee,

    You are looking really good. Other than whining about the hills, you are doing great. Nothing like honking horns to increase your prayer life and give you an attitude check all at the same time! Praying for you. Be safe!
