DAY 7 (Sat June 23 ride) Thompson Falls, Montana to Missoula, Montana: Another century. 108 miles. Tim, Erin, Theo and I basically raced the century. Mimi hung in for most. We had no major mountains, but some good hills. Getting into shape...we were averaging 20.5 mph at lunch. Finished the full 108 miles with an avg speed of 19.4 mph. Pretty aggressive. One of our favorite rides. Great weather after a forecast of rain, hail and low temps, it turned out to be a beautiful, sunny day. Had a very fun downhill near the end...got up to 49.5mph. Pictures: (1,2,3) views from beginning of the ride - and Tim being a monkey, (4) Erin had flat, and another flat while fixing the first one - Mimi is in the middle of pic - she is from DC area, (5) Erin, Carol, Tim, Me, Theo, (6) view, (7,8) views from behind me while I am pulling, (9) view, (10) the pace line - Tim, Erin, Theo, (11, 12, 13) views, (14) the gang pulling into Missoula at around 98 miles - L to R - Joe, Theo, Tim, Erin.
