Darby to LoLo Montana (Square and Round Dance Center RV Park) (58 miles)

This was an easy ride. Mostly downhill and a 17-mile bike path to ride on. A bike path is very unusual. I can count on my hands the number of paths we saw on the ling journey.
We should really rally across America to establish bike paths that would ensure the safety of riders. I realize that establishing many routes running nationwide would be an impossible task. Perhaps a major north/south route and east/west route would encourage many to get out and ride. I’m not suggesting that they get on a bike a travel 4,000 miles. My vendetta here is to help VetDogs of America raise awareness of the need for companionship between dogs and our veterans. Our secondary need is to get veterans involved. Come on. We all suffer from some sorta disorder because of our service to country.
Our men deserve the best we can provide. Part of our responsibility is to make certain the returning veterans, who have lost limbs, can survive in the society they vowed to protect with their lives and their new limbs. Those suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) need our involvement. Let’s get on board and kick some ass.
Your contribution to VetDogs goes a long way.
Let’s support VetDogs.
Back to the ride. We had a little rain with warm temperatures approaching nearly 90 degrees but with low humidity. We are experiencing a lot of joy seeing this magnificent country from a bike and not a passing car. Things that happen around us only make the trip more pleasurable. And most of the people we’ve met have made us comfortable with their concern.
There have been many occasions when we looked forward with anticipation to the end of a daily ride. Today was one of those times. The facility we were staying at is heralded as one heckuva place to stay. They have the greatest showers, free washing machine privileges and entertainment. Yes, entertainment. We watched in awe a live demonstration of how to square dance. What a rip!!
We are tenting here overnight and the rent for tenting bikers is $8.00. That’s like eating at McDonalds. This facility is located on Route 12 westbound just outside Lolo.
See yah…Bike Ted.
