One day, one more state off the list. Montana won't be so easy, But the bikers are looking foward to some more beautiful country and the always enjoyable tailwind.
With a bit of a late exit from Sandpoint, the stokers (as we have found cyclist are called in these parts of Montana) had a gorgeous morning pedaling along the northern shore of Lake Pend Oreille. We stopped for a bite to eat at the quiet town of Huron, and with a bit of help with directions from and Australian, go figure, we continued on to Libby. Turning north on highway 56 we bumped in to a bit of a cross wind bit the incredible views of the Cabinet Mountains more than made up for the loss of momentum. With thirty or so miles to go, the bikers...stokers started to feel a bit of strain; sun and wind can zap energy as can biking over 500 miles in the last six days. With a replenish of water, fruit and an energy bar, they were able to plow through the home stretch. Yeah Libby...One more replenish: of spaghetti and meatballs this time and to the room for some needed rest. EUREKA tomorrow.
