35 miles into Missoula Montana, an easy ride downhill and we stop at the McD's in Lolo 7 miles out of town for breakfast. Tom, John and I do a easy paceline into Lolo, where we meet Suz and then we move on to Missoula to find a Motel. Super 8 has best pricing, laundry and nearby grocery, restaurants and Walmart. Cold this morning, we all leave bundled up in our cold weather gear, 42 to start and 83 at the end. Looking forward to a full days rest and a visit to adventure bicycling . We will rest today and go their on Monday to create a new course for the Solo Jim supported by Suz and Beau ride. I am sorry to leave the Lochsa gorge coming into Missoula as it was a great scenic ride on great roads with no trucks and little traffic along the Lochsa and Clearwater rivers for two days. Would love to have this route in my backyard to do daily or even once a week. We do an Italian restraunt tonight and it is good food, but American Italian, missing some core foods but ok. John buys the group a bottle of wine, well appreciated by all and the crew give us a card with some $$ in appreciation for Suz sagging and doing groceries and motel search and the like. We decide to regift and we will pick up the tab for tomorrow's "Last Supper " together as we would not have spent any more money, but it was a great and heartfelt gesture from the group and much appreciated by Suz and me. We go to the motel and rest by watching old, old, old Scifi movies ........
