Day 15 and 16

Missoula, MT
715.4 Miles

So, for two days we went nowhere. Well, not nowhere. We went to the bar, and nice restaurants, and Molly's porch, and the University of Montana - Library, and walking around downtown; but not much pedal time.

We woke up on the morning of Day 15 and said to ourselves, "This is nice. A roof over our heads, good conversations, and the beer flows like water in Missoula." So, we stayed. And, we got lazy. We took naps, went for long walks, drank beers with Molly, talked to Steffen. In essence we did none of the things necessary for us to leave town, for example, grocery shopping. So, on the night of Day 15, realizing we had a days worth of errands, we decided to stay again.

Day 16 was more productive. We did the shopping. We made the zine. (I hear some of you are complaining about the production schedule, and I will have you know this edition is 348.6 miles early. Thank you very much.) It went in the mail on Day 17, so you should have it in your hands soon. (I don't know what day of the month it is folks, or usually what day of the week. Time and distance have been completely warped on this trip, and given the weight of my bike maybe it is because I now constitute a super-massive object.) We also spent more time enjoy Missoula on Day 16, and gearing up for the ride out of the Rockies over Roger's pass.

Thanks to Molly and Steffen for their gracious hospitality.
