I traveled about 77 miles today.
It seemed like Montana didn't want to let me leave. Between uphill slopes, trails of dirt, rock, and sand, and mysteriously absent bridges, I had a heck of a time getting over look out pass and into Idaho. Once I got the the trails of the Coeur d'Alenes things improved, paved trail all the way to Pinehurst. Unfortunately got a flat a little ways on that was really difficult to diagnose, as it was such a small hole. Ultimately a good day of biking, it was nice to get away from traffic, even if the trail condition was bad. Camping at usfs location was great. Met Travis, who was doing a good tournament in st Regis today. Hope it went well sir. Slept right by the creek, underneath some cedar trees. Lots of responses from warm showers people through Washington, looks like I'm all set for the next week. Continually amazed by the generosity of these people. Lutherhaven is cool, got to meet brother's friends, ate lots of pasta for dinner.
