Day seven.

68 miles. 5,661 feet of climbing

Welcome to America. This was a flyer on the wall inside a gas station bathroom in downtown Eurika. Healthy food!

Outside the gas station a man took an interest in our bikes and asked us about our trip. We were talking about the safety of big cities and he said that Chicago was too dangerous a place to be. He told us to have a safe trip and that we should strap an AK-47 to the front of our bikes. Max replied, “I just try to lead with kindness.”

Today’s ride had some spectacular scenery in between two major climbs. The reward was a prime campsite at Upper whitefish lake. About 30 miles north of the town of Whitefish, Montana.
