Chester, MT to Harlem, MT
Racing trains
MUCH HOTTER WEATHER TODAY, BLAZING SUN, FLAT, LESS WIND. WE COMPLETED 55 MILES BEFORE NOON. WE PASSED AND WERE PASSED REPEATEDLY BY TRAINS. ONE ENGINEER GAVE US A BIG WAVE TWICE. MY FEET ARE BOTHERING ME AFTER ABOUT 75 MILES BECAUSE OF CONSTANT PRESSURE ON THE PEDALS.
I wanted to go on to the next town, a distance of 43 more miles, but Dave claims "cooler heads prevailed". I was happy we did stop, though, because the Olympic gymnastic trials were on TV. Two week total 1,138 miles
Today's ride: 105 miles (169 km)
Total: 1,014 miles (1,632 km)
