Babb, MT to Cardston, Alberta Canada (30 miles) I did not want to get out of my sleeping bag cocoon this morning.

Avalanche Creek camp to Babb: 40 miles When I was visiting Glacier National Park with my family 2 summers ago, we drove along the famed Going to the Sun Road, which crosses through Glacier and over the Continental Divide at Logan Pass.

Eureka to Whitefish: 58 miles Today was not too fun, not going to lie. After our unexpectedly hilly day yesterday, we were looking forward to a flatter ride today. The back of our map has an elevation guide that shows the "general lay of the land," but "doesn't indicate minor hills." That being said, for … Continue reading Day 14: Mile 663

Libby to Eureka, MT (70 miles + a few extra that don't actually count) We got off to a bit of a slow start today, the time change entering Montana messed with us I think...and some guys making a ton of noise at 1:30 in the morning made it hard for us to sleep. Not … Continue reading Day 13: Miles 605

Sandpoint, ID to Clark Fork, ID (28 miles) This morning we had a slow start to our day, knowing we only had to cover 28 miles of relatively flat Idaho panhandle land.

Ione, WA to Sandpoint, ID (77 miles) We woke up early today because we knew that we had a lot of miles to get in. Our 4:30 am alarms went off...but Yoga and I ignored them until around 5:00.

Kettle Falls to Ione, WA (40 miles) Yesterday was just an unlucky day and the bike gods just threw a lot at me. I was hoping they were done but today was filled with more flats.
