July 16 - Day 21

Lima, MT, 0 miles, 0 mph

Today was a layover day. Time now to rest, cleanup, wash clothes, reorganize and mail some supplies forward.  This will be the last day we have with the support crew, so we have to get everything in order to go it alone from here.  We never expected to have a support crew with us, so it is not much work to prepare, but boy was it nice having them along.


Also, as was planned, Jiggleless, will be leaving us tomorrow and heading back to California. She had a great time, and she is very happy with her progress in biking the state of Montana.  It was a personal challenge for her, and she passed it with flying colors!


This is a photo of NumbStuff's feet. His sandals are giving him interesting tan lines.
Numbstuff’s back tire broke a spoke. We may have to divert into Jackson to find a bike shop to take a look at it.

From here, NumbStuff and Dirtbaby are continuing on the Great Divide route with a small stay in Idaho, then a few days to get through Wyoming, then on to Colorado and New Mexico in hopes to make it to the Mexico border before the first week of September. We will miss Jiggleless and the support crew, and we are very thankful to have had their company while it lasted.
This may be the last post for a few days, as we will be heading through several days of camping with little to no Internet connection.  Plus, it was Debbie that helped to get the blog up to date as quickly as possible.  In about two weeks we should make it to Steamboat Springs, CO. That is the next big city in our path.  We will try to post sooner than that, but it may not be as detailed...we'll have to see how it works out.



Jan's Cafe in Lima, MT  Good milkshakes and pie!
