Stanton Lake, MT

Today was brutal. We left Eureka around eight, with 100 miles of road ahead of us. Soon after we started, it began to rain. We spent the rest of the day fixing flat tires (three of them!), practicing our pacelines on the side of the highway, and adding layer upon layer to protect ourselves from the cold and rain. We stopped for lunch at a pizza parlor in Whitefish, and before we knew it, it was three o'clock and we had only gone fifty miles. We zoomed through the rest of the day, only stopping for a drink at an awesome little coffee shop on the side of the road.
When we pulled into camp at seven thirty (way too late, but that's another story), we were greeted by two girls, KellyAnn and Erin, who are also riding across the country. They are from Spokane, Montana and are totally awesome. I can't believe two twelve and fourteen year old girls are doing something that I am having such a hard time with... We are all so impressed! If you want to learn more about them, you should look at their website: www.kellyannerinbikestheusa.com. Congratulations girls, and good luck!
