Thanks again to Sue Gelber for hooking us up with the 3 rooms at the Days Inn last night! There is no substitute for a quality night of rest. We headed over to the Adventure Cycling Association for some ice cream, pictures, interviews ( http://tiny.cc/6RjsA ), and for a tour through the history of American cycling tours. Such an amazing place ... thanks! It was also great to see Ted Bowman - Blacksburg High School class of 99, who works at Adventure Cycling.
Several of us enjoyed monster sandwiches at Worden's Market before leaving Missoula. On the way out of town Danella's tire exploded, sounding like a gunshot. I rode a mile or so back into Missoula to Open Road Bicycles for a new tire but received word that Mason had arrived with the support vehicle and a replacement tire.
The temperature was around 104 so we stopped at the Lolo Super Stop for some water and Gatorade. As we made the turn onto 12 we were bombarded with a headwind and rode uphill for the remainder of the day. A few of us missed the group and rode a few extra miles before returning to camp at the Lolo Hot Springs RV Park. Kevin made some noodles and I added some diced tomatoes for dinner. Thanks Kev-man!
