Background

Summer 2007 I rode my bicycle from Seattle to Boston a distance of 4200 miles in 63 days. This ride had been a lifelong dream of mine. I came within a few days of doing a self supported XC trip in 2005 with my son Ryan and his friend Jesse but I got sick and could not make the trip. That was a big disappointment to me. Ryan and Jesse got as far as the middle of Montana before deciding to stop riding. Ryan chronicled their ride here: Ryan & Jesse's Ride Since none of my friends were crazy enough to ride the whole distance with me this year and I wanted some company I selected to join a ride planned and catered by Cycle America. I rode the Pacific Coast Coast Ride from Bellingham WA to San Francisco, CA in 2003 with Cycle America and had a great experience. As it turned out my older son Robert and my friend Wallace joined me for week 2 of the trip and Naomi rode week 4 while my younger son Ryan rode with me the final week of the trip.

Day 8 (Monday) Missoula, MT to Lincoln, MT

Robert and Wallace arrived yesterday and we rode together today. Woke up to cold and rain. Could not find my biking sleaves so I wore 2 wind breakers and survived the day OK. Scattered sunshine in the afternoon and the ride was beautiful. Most of the way along the banks of the Blackfoot river. For those that care to know my butt seams to be recovering.
