Welcome to Montana

Today we rode 87 miles from Sandpoint, ID to Thompson Falls, MT. It was a beautiful ride along the Clark Fork River. Along the way was a marshy area where I saw several great blue herons and ospreys. The big excitement was seeing a brown bear cross the road in front of us.

Fortunately it ran into the bushes instead of at us. The day started out chilly then heated up into the 80s. Also, we moved into mountain time zone and lost an hour. Tomorrow we have our first century ride, 100 miles, and the weather is to be very hot so I'm packing it in now in order to be up early and on the road before 7am.
