Stayed at the Bike Walk Southwesten Montana, a non-profit bike accommodation for cyclists and walkers. Really a neat place, but so glad I stopped in town for provisions. There were two cabins where you could sleep on the floor or a cot, two outside pavilions where you could pitch a tent under cover or camp on the grass. I wanted dry, so I slept on a lawn chair in one of the cabins. Not very comfy but worked. Better than being wet. The bathroom and shower were in the other cabin, inhabited by two guys. My cabin was the bike repair shop. Really a cool place but very rustic. People coming and going at all hours.

The ride today was pretty flat, with mild uphill grades. But it started to sprinkle as soon as I got on the bike and continued all 50 miles. Within 5 minutes of getting into my sleeper cabin at the rv park, the skies let loose. Man I was glad I wasn’t on the road. It really dumped. My cabin has 4 bunk beds just for me, a heater, YEAH, and a chair. That’s it. It will be warm and dry, and, right now, that’s all I want.

However, here I am in another town with no grocery or convenience store. The restaurant did have a cinnamon roll, so breakfast is taken care of for tomorrow. I looked on line and it said there was a grocery store here. So from now on, I am carrying breakfast for the next day no matter where I’m going. And maybe a couple other things. I hate getting somewhere, starving, and nowhere to get food fast. So today I’m at the only place in town, a restaurant, but can’t order lunch til noon. My poor tummy is having fits. “Burn that fat”.

This afternoon’s job is to do laundry. Some of my clothes are getting a little smelly. You can only wear the same bike shorts a couple times. And I have been dressing warm so I don’t get chilled. Resulting in getting sweaty underneath and wet outside the raingear. That’s why I don’t like riding in the rain. So hard to dress to be comfortable.
