Just killing time this morning before I take off. I’m only riding to Kalispell today but will probably also run up to Whitefish since I’ve never been there and it’s just a few miles from Kalispell. It’s supposed to be clear today so hopefully I won’t be dodging thunderstorms like yesterday. I really don’t like riding in the rain!!

I just ran into a guy in the parking lot who also has a Harley Road Glide. He lives in Washington State and gave me a couple of tips on nice roads to ride. We’ll see when I get there.

I hope to stop and take more pictures but yesterday I was more focused on outrunning storms! That said, I did manage to stop for lunch at the Stray Bullet cafe in Ovando. Ovando made the national news a few days ago when a grizzly attacked and killed a woman who was bicycling through and was camping in town. I was talking to one of the locals at lunch and when I asked him where the campground was, he turned around and pointed to it, “Just over there.” Very tragic.

Hopefully a relatively short day with nice weather and minimal drama. Later.

  1. It’s not the coast but you are not far from the Canadian Rockies…. I can’t say enough about my 3 day drive to / from Lake L. to Jasper. Can be cool and damp however.
