Day 14 (6/12/07) Jerry Johnson Campground, Idaho to Lolo, Montana, only ~58 miles today, but a pretty major climb up to Lolo Pass which separates Idaho from Montana. Good weather, but I was definitely stiff from the century yesterday. My legs felt a bit like lead, but that helped on the downhill from Lolo Pass to Lolo, Montana about 34 miles of downhill or slightly downhill and we had a tailwind and cruised on in to Lolo at about 20 miles per hour without really trying. It was nice! We sagged into Missoula, MT and checked out Adventure Cycling the organization that puts out the Transamerica route maps (and lots of other routes throughout the US and Canada). They were really nice, they gave us cold drinks and took our pictures. It was
really fun. Now I'm staying at the KOA in Missoula, while Skip and Cydna are out to dinner for their 25th anniversary! Tomorrow we're taking a rest day and hopefully checking out a bike shop and just hanging out around Missoula. Then we're off and in a week or so we should be in Yellowstone for two rest days to check out both Yellowstone and the Tetons! I'm surprised that we've gone over 950 miles total and we've made it to our third state! It's been an amazing experience to see the country at a slower pace. I've actually learned quite a bit of history surrounding the areas we've ridden through. We rode past Fort Fizzle (Fo Shizzle) and we've been on the Lewis and Clark trail. Hope everyone is having a good summer!
