Day 51 - 072109

Wisdom, MT to Hamilton, MT - 73.95 miles




Chief Joseph Pass - BiketheUSforMS from Kevin Bing on Vimeo.


This morning started very cold and wet due to the thick layer of accumulated dew that covered everything. Most of us sat around long enough for the sun to warm the air before we started riding. Once it warmed up a bit we biked past the Big Hole National Battlefield and The Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest before reaching our first stop at the top of Chief Joseph Pass at 7264ft. After the climb we enjoyed possibly the longest and fastest downhill of our trip. Our second stop was at Robbins Restaurant in Darby, MT. We pulled into Hamilton, MT and headed to the Bitterroot Valley Lanes. The bowling alley is owned by Nancy and Jan who are old friends of Leanna. Nancy and Jan ... WOW! Thanks for the greatest night of my life! We bowled the night away, game after game, and sometimes more than one game at a time. The ladies also fed us a steak, veggie burger, and potato salad dinner. Bowling, billiards, tunes, food, and root beers = good times! We stayed the night in the bowling alley, another first for me on this trip.
