The first order of business for today was to make the trek to the Adventure Cycling building. Once there we were greeted by Geoff and he gave us a fantastic tour of the building. We filled out a questionnaire and got our pictures taken for the inside board and possibly to be used in their monthly publication. I also got my fully loaded bike weighed. I guessed between 100 and 110 pounds. It came in at 111.3 pounds. My luxury items that make up that weight are an Ipad and folding key board. I can\u2019t go without them and it makes it so much easier to blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once leaving Adventure Cycling we were off to find the famous graffiti wall. We did not see it yesterday but now we had a better location for it. When we found it was neither a disappointment or a \u201dwow\u201d. After that we had to back track to Lolo to make the right hand turn to Lolo Pass and Idaho. But before we got to that right hand turn onto route 12 we came across Greg and Billy and a third person Jesse that they had been riding with. We had a brief conversation with them and then it was back on the road because it was getting close to noon by this point and still had a pass to climb and to go down to the Lochsa Lodge in Idaho where we planned to stay for the night. Once we got to the top of the pass we entered Idaho. It was about 12 miles of downhill to Lochsa Lodge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Lochsa Lodge I pitched my tent and Sue slept on the picnic table. She does have a tent but for some reason would rather sleep on a picnic table. Honestly I thought she would freeze overnight but she did not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s stats: total mileage 61.55 miles, average speed 12.3 mph, elevation gain 1975 feet, elevation loss 2093 feet, maximum speed 33.7 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
