| Terry on the way to Phillipsburg and before we climbed the hill to Georgetown Lake. |
 |
| It's cold and it's been raining. We've been putting on the layers--prediction of snow today, and we're going up. |
 |
| Mari with her plastic bags as glove covers. Her overmitts had disappeared before ever being seen on this trip, and she asked for plastic bags at lunch. Di the trick, sort of. Problems with condensation, but they were better than nothing. |
 |
| On the look out for snow. |
 |
| Getting close to the top, near Georgetown Lake. |
 |
| Terry nearing the summit near Georgetown Lake. |
 |
| Terry taking a break near the top, before the snow storm. |
 |
| Georgetown Lake, 6300 ft elevation. |
 |
| Yes indeed, ski area. Just on the verge of snowing. |
 |
| Hello snow. |
 |
| It's snowing but manageable on the bikes so far. |
 |
| "Luke, this is your mother." (Luke is Erik's camp name for English camp. Ha ha) |
 |
| Terry gets to fix another flat tire for Mari, but this time in the warmth and comfort of a warm, dry kitchen. Mari's flat occurred a couple miles from Anaconda, after coming down miles of road in a snowstorm. A man offered us a ride into town, we took it, and didn't have to deal with a flat tire out in the cold, wet late afternoon. yay! |
Daily: 51 miles. Total miles: 857.5 A challenging ride to Georgetown Lake, a ski area at 6300 ft. It snowed most of the day, with heavy winds. Temperatures 35-42 degrees F while cycling. It was brutal in the wind. Mari got her third flat tire at about 6:30 pm, about two miles out of Anaconda, and a guy going to a pawn shop gave us a ride into town to a motel. All motels within 80 miles were booked due to a state girls softball meet. We ended up luckily at a cottage of the owner of a B&B. This worked out great!
