Day 14: 41 miles 497 total.
Disappointing day, Rolled into the refinery town of Laurel on I 90 mid afternoon, stopped at a coffee shop to get on the net and catch up, by the time I was ready to roll and get past the confusion of Billings storm cells were looming, said fuggit and checked into a motel.
Only in the context of this trip would a 41 mile day on an 80lb bicycle be “disappointing”. 🙄
Tough day ahead today; forecast high 99, first Billings, then the climb out of the Yellowstone Valley. 90 miles to the LBH. 25 miles to a rest area, 43 miles to a place called Indian Arrow. On I 90 in the sun most of the way.
I know that a bicycle on the shoulder of an interstate irritates most, but from a cyclists perspective it’s one of the safest places to be.
