Day 7!

Sandpoint, ID to Thompson Fall, MT - 90.4 miles, 7:22

This was probably one of the most beautiful routes I've been on. Most of the morning was spent pedaling in a valley past Lake Pend Oreille, past creeks and rivers, and there were mountains on either side of us.

We're in Montana!

Welcome to Montana?

The later part of the day was just as beautiful as the morning, but it was SO HOT! I don't do well in heat, so this ride was miserable. When I arrived in Thompson Falls this afternoon at 5:15 the thermometer in town read 111 degrees! Fortunately, the high school is letting us sleep indoors tonight. No worries about the heat OR the bears in town. (Daniel, our ride leader, spotted a mama and baby bear not far from here. Yikes!)



Dinner was at a local restaurant.
