So here's just a quick update as we both got drunk last night, up until 2am, with a 90 mile ride today at about 17mph average, following the lochsa river all the way to Kooskia (pronounced koos-kee) where we are now.
I was still dragging my cold yesterday but managed to struggle on for 60 miles or so over the Lolo pass and along to the Lochsa Lodge, where the bar staff made us feel very welcome, with pints of Fat Tyre appearing as if by magic and the democrat versus republican arguments going on long into the night.
Today was a long ride starting out wearing everything we owned and ending up in t-shirt and shorts, we're well glad we didn't ditch our cold weather gear.
We're in Idaho now so are on Pacific Time, I think that's the 4th time zone i've ridden into now (eastern, central, mountain, pacific) so we are 8 hours behind. It's 11pm, I still have my cold, plus a hangover, and some sleep to catch up on. After all his hard work tonight bert is already in bed.
That's were I'm going now.
(Hi to Jesse at the Holiday Inn Reception Desk in Missoula, you know you want to do it, buy a bike and go!)

Good to hear you boys are still going strong.
I was going to ask about your cold, Kelv - can't shake it? Get some fresh air, mate, being stuck indoors in that office all day won't help get better ;-)
Keep rollin'
