Guess we really impressed the lady sitting on the sidewalk in Bozeman to elicit such a comment from her. Little did she know that we had ridden the bus from Butte and were simply walking our bikes to our hotel. We weren’t dressed for cycling and had the wrong shoes on, but hey, [...]
Deer Lodge to Butte - 40 miles
Average Speed - 11 mph
We have been very fortunate weather-wise as far as precipitation goes. It really hasn’t rained since we left the Portland area. The temperatures have usually been in the 70’s although we have had some much warmer days. Imagine how thrilled we were [...]
Rock Creek to Deer Lodge - 62 miles
Average Speed - 11.5
Need I say more?
We didn’t leave very early this morning because the day seemed tame in comparison to yesterday. Don’t know what we were thinking. We left shortly before 8 and it wasn’t long before it started raining. We took refuge for [...]
Lolo Hot Springs to Rock Creek – 61 miles
Average Speed – 12.5
Our computer seems rather picky when it comes to hooking up to wireless networks, which is time consuming and frustrating. The Lolo Hot Springs Motel had wireless and we just couldn’t get on. Beth, the manager let us plug in directly to [...]
Powell to Lolo Hot Springs – 21 miles
Average Speed – 7.5 mph
We never got to light that wood stove last night. Even though we had a window open in our cabin, the temperature never got so cold as to be uncomfortable. We didn’t get up early today as we knew that the day [...]
Lowell to Powell – 65 miles (more than a metric century)
Average speed- 10
Last night we ate at the restaurant right next to the Wilderness Lodge and found the food to be more than adequate. We both tried the Aztec soup and split a sandwich, which is customary for us. I tried the Huckleberry [...]
We have just a few minutes on a borrowed internet. Photos will follow soon.
Orofino to Lowell – 56
Average speed – 11
Our stay at the White Pine was comfortable and now that we are without internet again, we really appreciated having that amenity. We microwaved some pot pies for dinner and had some fruit [...]
Clarkston to Orofino - 46 miles
Average Speed - 10 mph
Last night we stayed at the Quality Inn right on the river in Clarkston.
Tom and some other people along the way recommended this hotel especially because it has a cooked-to-order breakfast. It also had wi-fi, which we will very likely be without after today. We [...]
Pataha to Clarkston - 29 miles
Average speed - 11mph
We had such a great time yesterday after we arrived in Pomeroy. First, we got that nice, refreshing glass of iced tea, then we met Tom who was biking to Astoria and then we met some great people at the Pataha Flour Mill, where we spent [...]
Dayton to Pataha - 40 miles
Average Speed - 11 mph
We got an early start this morning hoping for that tailwind that the Weather Channel predicted. We took a quick shot of the hotel and headed out.
It turned out that the tailwind was in our face the entire morning. Once again, the day started with [...]
