Day 44: Bigfork MT-Kalispell MT, 18 miles, Wyatt Benjamin

Today, we had the shortest day of the trip so far. Because we had a short day, we woke up at 7:00 and trickled out of camp according to how much time we needed. Because I was really well rested, I packed everything in 21 minutes. This was definitely a PR.

After packing up, Blake and I went to breakfast at a diner that was less than a mile away. For breakfast I got the classic breakfast, which fed me well enough for the day.

After going to the diner, we were ready to go. As soon as we pulled out of the parking lot, Daniel P’s rack fell off. The only other time that this has happened, was to me on the great Allegheny pass. Luckily for Daniel, he was not going 16 miles per hour. After fixing his rack, we were on the road again. This was shortlived, because we realized that his rear derailer was messed up. We finally decided to take him off his big gears which solved his problem. This is how he biked all the way to Kalispell.

After Daniels problem was fixed we were on the road again. We had an easy 18 miles to camp which consisted of a bike path, and a busy highway. My group much preferred the bike path.

Tonight we are staying at one of Mr. Gulisano’s friends house. We also have a break day tomorrow here. We are thinking of going to glacier park tomorrow!

Until next time...
