Today we rode 101 miles under clear to partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the mid 80's. It was a long and challenging ride with a bit of a headwind at times. Twenty miles out of Missoula, we passed under the animal bridge shown here with Bill (router). The animal bridge is built on an animal migration route to allow safe passage over the highway for migrating wildlife. Shortly after this we stopped for a break and talked to Brian Becker a fellow bicyclist who is doing an 18 month self-contained bike tour of the US, Mexico and Central America. He sure put our 9 week tour in perspective. Tonight and tomorrow the group is staying at Knowles Hall Dormitory at the University of Montana in Missoula. This is quite a treat with the second night of dormitory stay in 3 days. However Tom and I have a better deal as Ingrid and Barb Burns are meeting us at the dorm and taking us to the Burns' cabin in the mountains for the rest day.
