Day 2 - to White Fish
Woke up early at around 5am, packed up quickly and left! Had a really good morning even though we got a bit lost for a while. Didnt really know where we were! Fairly good gravle/tarmac roads. The day was going really well and I was able to go faster than I had hoped. Still not feeling so good stomach wise. But my legs feel good. Crossed the border into America and then found a Subway about 10 miles later for lunch. I realised there wasn't much else along the path for a while but actually found a little shop at about 111miles. I knew we were going up now and would cross the Continental Divide and that there woul dbe a little snow - but there turned out to be a LOT!! Ended up hiking 9 miles through the snow - probably took about 4 hours - a bit of a nightmare! After that it was beginning to get dark and I still had about 15 miles to White Fish Finally arrived here about 11.30 - so am just eating before going off to bed. That was one hell of a hard day! I did see deer and elk - no bears!! At one point riding down the last bit I could feel myself falling asleep on the bike - one hell of a long day! 16 hours with the bike to go about 155 miles!! Have to get up in about 4 1/2 hours time to do it all again!! Good night
