Friends,
Today we moved into our third state, Montana. Like I said yesterday, I'm pretty excited about that. I'm actually writing this on the night of the 25th, but I don't have internet at the moment, so I'll post it when I do.

We are staying in Libby tonight. My host is a very nice lady, about my grandma's age. It has been great to talk to her. She has two grandsons in the Air Force. Both of which have lived in Germany, one is still there. I think I'm going to keep my post today short. I am pretty tired right now.

Oh, a quick update on my Achilles tendons: it's odd, they seem to be going back and forth between which one is causing pain which day. But, as long as I'm keeping the Ibuprofen up, the pain hasn't been bad. Today I was able to push quite a bit harder on my bike, and it felt really good, though, I think I'm going to slow back down, because you miss so much when you're flying along at 20+ mph. 15 is a much better pace, I think; able to stop and take pictures more easily. So, tomorrow I'll probably slow back down.

It'll be nice though, we've got a pretty short ride tomorrow, 'only' 60 miles.


By the way, Jonny and Fiona say hi and they are doing well. Just in case anyone is interested. :-)
