Day twelve

Thursday evening in Lincoln, Montana. We are staying in the Lincoln High School which is right ext door to a burger and shake place.  We just finished a wonderful dinner of burritos and now I am at the
ice cream place next door so I can write this blog. As it happens Verizon was using the AT&T towers and their contract ran out onMonday so thee has been no Verizon service here since Monday except right on Main Street. So I figured it was worth coming here a d having some chocolate ice cream  so I could write today's blog.
Today's ride  was from Missoula to  Lincoln a total of  81 miles which was shortened to 65 miles because  of road construction in Lincoln and they wouldn't let us ride through the construction. It was fine with me  because it was getting to be uncomfortably hot. It actually was a beautiful ride. It's very hard to capture the vistas on camera, but Montana is a beautiful state. We pass over the continental divide tomorrow.
Last night our meeting lasted a out two hours and everyone got to air there differences. It was good to hear and also to realize how miscommunication there was with just about everyone. It didn't solve all the problems but it did help. I still want to talk to Terry separately but he wasn't ready to do that last night.
It's finally get hot here. Up until now it's been mostly cool and rainy. Today was in the 80's, but I think tomorrow will be in the 90's. Just 55 miles tomorrow. Friday is usually a easy day so we can be back early to get ready for Shabbat.
The biking is going well - just a few aches and pains. I mostly hang out with the "kids". They're very sweet. I mostly bike by myself,  by choice. I like going at my own pace and I prefer not talking while biking. I think we' ve all gotten a bit stronger biking.
Got to go. They are closing the ice cream place.
