I get to whitefish, and with all the rattling of my back tire, I am feeling very saddle sore (sorry if that is too much information). We roll into one bikeshop, but it is late saturday and they will be closed sunday (not enough time to build me a new back wheel). just as they are recommending the other bike shop in town, one of the mechanics from the other bike shop, TIm, rolls up, testing out a new bike. After a long conversation all around, Tim escorts us to the other bike shop, where they offer to build me the toughest wheel they can for 115. We also stock up on other good things, like an extra tire, some more tubes, more chain lube, and plenty of recommendations about what to do for saddle sores (mainly they recommend some rest).
So, here we have been in white fish, after biking in on Saturday, and laying about for two days in a nearby camping spot (7$ a night 2$ for a shower), hanging out at the local coffee shop, the library, and our campsite (which has a lovely view of lake whitefish, and plenty of curious tow-headed kids to watch play). We are catching up on our reading, stretching and relaxing, and looking forward to getting going tomorrow. Our plan is to get to the base of logan pass for tomorrow night (6/30), and then get up logan pass and another 60 miles by the end of the day. Considering the kind of climb it is going to be, and how far out of our way it is going to be, it better be freakin gorgeous.
