Plains, MT - Noxon, MT (2 days) 60 miles


There's a house on that point in Flathead Lake

Speeding down highway 200 from Thompson Falls to Noxon :)


We had two glorious days of biking along the Flathead and the Clark Fork Rivers. Wonderful weather. Today we had mostly a gentle downgrade with a couple sharp ups and downs that made for easy biking. The mountains are smaller now so the scenery is not quite as spectacular, but still pretty.Thompson Falls, where we stayed last night is a fairly large town in a pretty setting. We wheeled into town at about noon and had lunch at a cute little place with a deck out front, so we ate outside and enjoyed the sunshine and warm weather. Had a conversation with a couple hat were travelingby motorcycle, but he said he's like to try a bicycle trip some day. Did some laundry, took a nap, and went to a little jailhouse museum. These short days of biking give us most of the afternoon to relax, and hang out, which is kind of nice. Today we biked 35 miles, but it didn't seem that far because it was such an easy ride. Noxon, which is where we are tonight, is a forgettable place.

Tomorrow we leave Montana and enter Idaho! In three days we'll be in Washington!

Riding on......
