Day 8 - Thompson Falls, MT to Missoula, MT

Rode 102.57 miles today. Average 13.5 mph

This was a long day, but I got into camp at the University of Montana at about 3:40 in the afternoon. The fastest century I've ever done. The morning was great and fast. I felt good. The afternoon, I slowed down a LOT, I had to stand up constantly. The ride was beautiful though. Got some yummy black licorice in a little town - mmmm. I was starving all day today. Breakfast didn't seem to work for me at all. My second breakfast was a king size snickers bar that ate in about 10 seconds. The last 26 miles of the ride was a long gradual hill, but the then the downhill seemed to last forever and took us right into Missoula. It was wonderful! My high speed was 44.5 mph and I was braking a bit because someone was in front of me. The high speed for the day was won by Andy - 52 mph. Another rest day!!!! Looking forward to shopping for a different saddle and eating sorbet and sleeping!
