Our site on the river
Part of our ride today consisted of 16 miles of bike path. I love not having to ride on the highway for a spell- Thanks Montana DOT! When we were stopped at a gas station in Lolo, a guy came up to us and lectured us on the dangers of biking the Lolo pass, which we'll go through for the next 30 some miles. My favorite part of the conversation was when he told us "You know, I have a motorhome, I can't slow down for bikers. Either I hit them or I hit the semi in the oncoming lane, and I'm not going to hit a semi." Hmm, I completely forgot that they no longer equip motorhomes with brakes. Seriously sir, consider letting off the gas for a second if it comes down to it. Overall we have found the drivers throughout the trip to be pretty great, but I hate stupid comments like that. It's not like a bike takes up a whole lane. Go around.
