What should we do when the pavement ends and we still have 25 miles of gravel into the town (Miles City) we are going to? That decision faced us on Tuesday as we were having, until that time, a relatively easy ride to that point. After some discussion, we loaded the bikes up into the trailer and went BACK about 8 miles to the last turn-off, unloaded the bicycles, and took a different road. For part of that distance, we needed to get on an Interstate Highway (legal in Montana). We did have a few flat tires to repair on I-94. Zach had one of those, and another member of the team had a couple. It turned into a longer day than we expected. Fortunately, the temperature and humidity were down significantly from what y'all are experiencing back east. It was all worthwhile when we got to the Bible Church in Miles City, and had lots of Gatorade and Pizza Hut pizza waiting for us! An 85-mile day!
