Day 4 - Glacier to Whitefish
Day 4 - retuned to Whitefish
Nothing to report today other than it was a comfy ride back the way I came the other day. I will say the small section of roadway near Hungry Horse that I was dreading was ok. Lighter traffic with gaps that put me in better position for guardrail that lined the road. I did notice a single track on the other side of the railing, but it wasn’t consistent either.
It is what it is!
I really felt comfy on the rural roads through and out of Columbia Falls, nice town. Oh, I did find a Starbucks, a big one with a patio and gift shop. The bathroom was beautiful!
In Whitefish, I got a slow leak fixed in the front tire; no worries.
It is getting cloudy here; rain in the forecast. I’ll have a decision to make tomorrow. The days are long so it still might work to ride 42 miles to Trego, Mt. to camp.
I’ll check in tomorrow, for now I rest and plan. Thank you for following; if you send a comment know I appreciate it. I might not get to reply until I get WiFi and time, but I appreciate.
Side Note: Met local Whitefish resident Susan today. She asked me what I was doing. She is a seasoned touring cyclist who shared her knowledge about traveling by bike through Western Canada - many small towns that I will pass through. So nice chatting, she told me there is a really nice hostel in Hope BC, and that I should take a walk around the city.
Thanks Susan!
Something New: Suppose to rain so I thought I'd setup the tarp; might set tent up under it or sleep outside - that would be a first.
Watching the Movie PLANE in my villa.
Today's ride: 29 miles (47 km)
Total: 96 miles (154 km)
