Today was the most difficult day so far. Probably my most difficult ride ever. Seventy miles, of which the last 42 were into wind coming at us at our nose and from the right side between 20 and 40 miles and hour. We struggled uphill and downhill. It was the first time I had to pedal down hill. I told Larry and Jon, who are faster then I am, to continue ahead but they refused. Instead they slowed down and Larry rode in front and to my right to try and block the wind. What a ride. We were all exhausted at the end of the day.
Typical scene for today
Remnants of a ghost town
Marlene with riders in the background.
Montana, being intelligent
Ubet
Larry finding the only shade in midday Montana
Look for the Union Label
The rhubarb lady at the rhubarb festival; pies, crisps, ice cream, punch and syrup. Delicious!
Doing what we do best - eating, again
