I rode 74 miles today in 5 hours on the bike, averaging 15.4 mph. Zack averaged 18.2 mph(getting strong now). I rode with his group for 7 miles after lunch but had to drop off the back of the paceline. While we were riding we saw a Bald Eagle fly right over us about 20 feet in the air. That was a first for me.
We cruised into Montana and completed our 66 miles in Idaho. State number two is a wrap, with 12 to go. We visited Kootenai River Falls after lunch about 20 miles west of Libby. It seemed small at first but as we got closer you could feel and hear the power. It was pretty cool. Zack stood right at the edge of the water at the top of the falls for a photo op.
We will be riding in Montana for 773 miles and will arrive in North Dakota on July 5.
Don Busfield, thanks for turning me on to aerobars. They are the best! I am probably in them half the time.
Timmy O'Hare. Your idea for using the no-skid material to secure those bars is working great. Thanks!
We appreciate all of you praying and giving to help make this possible. It's making a difference in us and for the kids.
One Mile at a Time,
Dan
