WOW! Now that was a day of riding.

After having a half day of good weather in Missoula we started out yesterday morning aiming for the mountains and thankfully not on the highway. Unfortunately it was in the direction of what looked like more nasty weather. Turned out to be the best day of the trip so far, on all accounts.

We went up over Lolo pass in Idaho. On the other side of the pass we had 200 miles of riding along side of 2 raging rivers with the scent of balsam in the air. Yes I said 200 miles. Winding roads that were clearly designed for motorcycles. It was absolutely incredible. Google maps said it was gonna take five and a half hours. Now we know why. It took us even longer :-)
Lots of boats playing in the rapids. The only thing that could've been better is if I were on mi bicicleta. I'm already planning the bicycle tour back here. Lots of nice climbing of course.
