Well, we have been settling into a comfortable rhythm on the road. Pat is by far the strongest cyclist in the group. Bill is next strongest, and I am the weakest (it's OK- I'm not sensitive about it). Bill has been leading and navigating. I ride second, and Pat rides last to keep his eye on me. It's a good system that has been working well.
Bill mentioned having lunch on the reservation. One older gentleman saw us, went straight to his car, and gave us each a cold water bottle. That was very nice of him. When we talked to some of the officers who were working there, they were not unduly impressed that we were riding across the country. They were VERY taken aback that we were going to ride Bridge Creek Road on a bicycle. That's just not something that sane people do, apparently. It was on that road that I hit the wall and had to stop for the night.
Our campsites have been fabulous. We have been on a river most of the nights. Washington has been gorgrous- breathtaking vistas, mountain streams, and insanely hard riding. I am looking forward to Idaho and Montana, although we will be in Montana for a long time. It is a BIG state.
I'll see you again next time we get access to a computer.
Pat's turn
