I traveled about 105.3 miles today.
Biked all the way from Harlem to Chester today. Got some new tires (and tubes) in Havre. Big thanks to Roger, who opened up his bike shop for a bit today after I called yesterday asking if I could get some tires. Light headwind today, was draining when combined with having a mild cold. Staying in city park tonight, met cascade, who is biking from Minneapolis to Vancouver. Also passed Calvin on the road today, another east west cyclist. Storm coming through tonight, but park has a shelter that should be helpful. Very strong headwind tomorrow, will try to make cut bank. Cascade said that she might just try to hitchhike there. A tempting idea, but I'd like to give it an honest try on the bike first. Also, my bike has a name now (actually, gave it a name on the road to wolf point). Bullet Bill (yes, add in the super Mario baddy). Also, interesting thing from a day or two ago: I saw a truck driving on railroad tracks. It had attachments in the front and rear with train wheels that supported most of the pickup's weight, and the tires had just enough contact to propel the vehicle. Very cool.
