7-23 Thursday

Missoula, MT to Lolo Hot Springs - 46.2 miles

Can't thankyou enough Sue Gelber for the rooms at the Days Inn last night!! Sleeping in this morning was a bit unusual and felt odd but we were at ease for at noon we traveled to the Adventure Cycling Association headquaters.

What a welcoming, they were very happy to see us, as we were with them, especially they offered us free ice cream. We took the full tour and heard some great stories of some of the original Transam stories. Then off to the back to have our pictures taken for the wall of pictures in the foyer of all the riders taking the journey this summer. Thanks again for the hospitality and enthusiasm Adventure Cycling, we'll see you next year.

Coincidentally the local news was doing a story on cycling in the area and they happened to interview a couple of us, check it out here! Thanks Jake! The rest of the ride was a climb to Lolo pass. We rode by the only confirmed camping site of Lewis & Clark. Had a blowout with 3 miles left to go. Long day, head wind most of the day and man was it hot... the bank said 101 degrees. Camped by a stream, great views.
