Missoula, Montana

hoooo well we made it to missoula, a stunningly beautiful ride along the blackfoot river through swiss scenery. It was about 100F, which is damn hot, and sapped both of us so we rolled in to town on empty.

met a couple of touring cyclists for the first time, 2 cool american dudes riding west to east, opposite to us, there was a lot of talk about the road, trail snacks, bikes and gear. Was great, woulda been cool to ride with them a while but as they were going the other way it would be kinda hard. They camp every night, whereas now that bert is here if there's no pool and wifi in the hotel we refuse to stay there, so that showed us up a bit.

we are off into town in a bit, we're in the holiday inn right in the centre, and we got a rest day tomorrow which luckily lets us avoid the 30mph headwind that's forecast.

expect an uber-splurge posted tomorrow with masses of pics and vids, hangovers willing.
