Hello Everybody!
Tomorrow marks the second week of the bicycle tour.
Thomas and I have accommodation in the blue mountain
motel to avoid a wet night outside. After doing some
big days, we are both rundown and Thomas has had some
cold symptoms. On Saturday, after picking up a new passport the day before, we set a benchmark for the trip by utilizing a tailwind to bike 100 km. Today we are within a day ride of the border. With the current weather looking awful and speculations of snow on Thursday we maybe avoiding Glacier National Park and the "going to the sun highway."
Last night we met Dave Saganiuk, an old friend of our parents. He agreed to meet us for a drink and even said it was a shame that we hadn't called him upon arrival as he not only would have put us up but could have even put us to work for an afternoon. Sitting at a nearby lounge he told us a few stories we had heard from our mother before, but the new perspective was hilarious.
Today we will find out if the border is passable or not.
Regards
Shamus
