Jul 8 - Day 14
Arlene shuttled the bikers back to Marias Pass to begin the day's ride. Ride took them through Browning, MT which is the headquarters of the Blackfeet Indian council. The reservation extends to Cut Bank where Ned and Jerry talked with an older farmer lady who was very interested in their bike ride. They met two couples, one from Maine, the other from New Hampshire who are biking cross country. They stopped to help an old gentleman driving an old Cadillac change a flat tire. Total day's ride was 84 miles, new total 841. They started out with a nice tailwind and averaged 15.5 miles per hour for the day riding over rolling hills. Ladies again had difficulty finding lodging but finally found a room at the O'Haire Manor Motel in Shelby. Clerk indicated rooms are hard to find during the summer months.

ReplyDeleteHey folks been followin the trip and it sounds great! You guys are getting a growing following as many are interested in your trip. By the time you pull into Maine you should have plenty more. Impressive daily notes so far. You boys should have some nice fairly flat traveling for awhile now. Keep up your pace and enjoy it all. We are back east sweating our keisters off. I did a pre triathlon two days ago and it was 100 out. Crazy. And you support woman have a tough job finding lodging and supplies daily. Really! Logistics is everything. Gotta keep those boys fueled up. And Pap you might have to lighten up on the ice cream ha ha! Don't need to be packin extra weight. I guess daily rewards are a good thing. You boys are tough nuts!! Look forward to more of "Jerry and Ned's great adventure"!! Carlisle Dan
