Lincoln, Montana

just quick post, both pretty bushed, bert in bed and sleeping at 9pm, had a good ride today, nice and warm, beautiful empty road winding up a canyon, crossed the continental divide for the last time, in pacific country from now on, climb was toughest yet, about 10m of gentle then 3 miles of quite steep switchbacks up to about 6500 feet, enough to feel altitude effects again, both got bad headaches

now we're in a cool little cabin in a forest, bert's back tyre started shredding just as we got into town so he'll be on the spare tomorrow as we ride into Missoula where we stay for a rest day on sunday. Should be about an 80 miler tomorrow, seems to mostly follow a river along so hopefully just a cruise

might stick some more up later

What's up with all Bert's punctures? Is it his aggressive riding style? Or is did he just skimp on quality rim tape?

Following the river sounds nice...
