Day nine.

Flathead Lake to Holland Lake

73 or so miles. 5,000 or so feet of climbing

Yum. Such a well balanced selection of junk food!

We enjoyed a great breakfast in the charming little town of Big Fork, MT. Then, more dirt road climbs, which, depending upon the steepness and the condition of the gravel, can be easy or hard, but they are beautiful and those climbs are so much better than riding on a paved road with fast moving vehicles.

We caught up to a couple of riders around midday. Turned out one of them was Dave, the 76 year old guy. We descended a big hill together at breakneck speed. An absolute beast!

We made it to this lovely campsite on the shore of Holland Lake. Magical.
