?? When was the last time you asked one?

Anyhow, 55 miles for me, up Rt 84 to Loma. Had to wait for the local bike shop in GF to open at 10, cleared town about 11.

First ten miles or so the truck traffic was so bad and the road and shoulder so narrow I thought about turning back, felt like a hazard to everyone, slow progress bailing off the asphalt every couple of minutes onto grass and gravel impossible to ride. Got better after that, wider shoulder, much less trafficplus I had a tailwind. Felt lousy later on tho, sick, quit with three hours of daylight left but found an ace inexpensive little motel in here in the wide spot on the Marias called Loma. Beautiful evening 😎
