<\/a><\/p>\nThe lake produced by the Libby Dam would be the main route we would bike today. 50 miles of lake shore to admire as we biked along. The road went up and down, up and down. over 3,500 feet of climbing and we landed at the same elevation in Eureka!!!<\/p>\n
The start of the lake behind the dam . . . would run for over 50 miles<\/p>\n We think this might have been a pier for employees of the dam company to use on weekends with their families’. Nice!!!<\/p>\n The lake made many bends and twists as we biked along it. More elevation than yesterday, just as hot BUT overcast sky’s made the biking MUCH more enjoyable. Still . . . \u00a0really pushed the liquids!!!<\/p>\n Really nice biking.<\/p>\n All the up and down we did was because of the desire not to \u2018flatten out the road\u2019. Here is one place where they did blast though the surface to avoid an uphill. Yeah!!!!<\/p>\n After 73 mile we reached Eureka. Some biked over 90 miles because they missed a turn right out of Libby. But we had a surprise when Allison, Mike N. and I reached Eureka. The city park was still there for us to use\u00a0 . . but the city hall staff would no longer \u2018loan\u2019 out keys for groups like ours to get in and use the facilities’ through the night and to get potable water. So having restrooms that closed at 4:30pm and would not open until 8:00am tomorrow morning was not going to work for us. Weird thing was Allison had checked with them last week to verify our reservation and\u00a0 everything was peachy keen!!! Now it was MOTEL time!!!!! . . .<\/p>\n On the way to the motel we met Hank and Aaron, two riders who were doing the ACA Great Divide Ride which goes from Banff, AB to Baja, Mexico. They figure it will take them two months. Safe riding!<\/p>\n Luckily Allison was able to get us into the Ksanka Inn. 8 rooms available. . . .Yippee!!!<\/p>\n Brenda ran the Exxon stations and the motel operations was super helpful in getting things squared away for us<\/p>\n Tonight Allison and Mike N are our cooks and they are using a jar of some peanut butter we have for lunches that is too soupy, to make peanut chicken pad thai. Turned out wonderful and we had ice cream for dessert!!!<\/p>\n D. heard it was time or appetizers and showed up ready to go . . . everyone was hungry and the food quickly vanished.<\/p>\n Shouldn\u2019t be any trouble sleeping tonight!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today will be our second 70 miler in a row. I forgot to mention yesterday most of the riders were very tired right out of the shoot because of our night in Clark Fork, We were set up right under a\u00a0 huge Maple tree at the High Scholl but neglected to check that the restaurant … Continue reading Day 16, Eureka, MT<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
