We got stormed on hard last night. We were sitting under a shelter in the Denton city park when the storm clouds started rolling in, and it was something to watch. Wind blowing in every direction, clouds moving over and under each other. But, we stayed dry in the tent and woke up to sunshine, briefly.
We had about an hour of sun, and then more storm clouds appeared on the horizon. We only had about 40 miles to go, so we jumped on our bikes and road as hard as we could to Lewistown. We passed some great scenery including more mountain ranges, but we had a purpose, and that was not to get soaked in a thunderstorm.
We managed to stay out ahead of the storm, and got sprinkled on a little. We made it to Lewiston tired, hungry, but dry.
In Lewistown, we stopped at a part time bike shop called High Plains Bike and Ski. The owner, Mark, has a pretty great setup and is a meticulous mechanic. He works on bikes in the afternoon and drinks beer with his friends in his little garage shop. Then they go riding or skiing on the weekends. Some people just never grow up as Mark says.
