Doug Gardner - Missoula to Darby.....We slept in late....0600. However, I had gotten up earlier and sent some pictures and posted a blog. We walked down street for breakfast, then went to post office to mail some things we all had that we really did not use or need, back to our respective homes. We checked out of motel, and rode to Adventure Cycling headquarters and received a tour of their site. They had some freebies for us as we were members of their Association. They took a picture of our group to keep in their archives, one that should show up on their website in a few weeks. Many pictures and stories of the original Bikecentennial were shared with us. Next, we rode back the way we had traveled the day prior, learning that Missoula is really a spur and just not labeled like all the other spurs......a way to get you to their headquarters.....although we had to retrace some of what we had done the day prior, no one regretted going into their headquarters. We rode back through Lolo, then on to Florence to visit a place famous on the trail for their pie. We finished our ride in the small town of Darby at a small RV campsite, and took the requisite showers. We set up our tents and turned in early, exhausted again!
