from Biggs yesterday. Also the drizzle has yielded to some actual
summer conditions. With luck, snow won't be a problem in the
mountains because Montana can get heavy snowfall any time of the year.
Unfortunately, Philip is sitting out for a week because of tendonitis
in both knees. He will rejoin Jack in Missoula where Davis will end
his two week ride.
Jack and Davis met an interesting German fellow named Rudy yesterday.
He is an experienced bicyclist who spends two months a year in the
states so he was able to offer some advice on the route. Rudy was
unable to join the riders this year because he is busy piloting one of
the only RV's that's not trying to crowd the riders off the road.
The Lewis and Clark trail has offered some interesting landmarks.
Although much of the riding has been on busy roads and interstate
highways, the route also has included scenic byways along the
Columbia river and an amazing tower overlooking Astoria.
