We awoke to rain…..
Headed out of town quite early (no hangovers thankfully) & to get back onto the GDMBR we had to ride along a nice wee trail out of town, this trail is a very popular walking/ running trail for the Bigfork locals.
Half way along we were stopped by a lady walking her dog & she was super interested in the journey we were taking - so much so that she wanted to call the local paper!!
She had a kiwi connection through her son & skiing , that she hosted Annaliese Coberger ..
After about 20km of riding we headed up hill - for about 10km of nice steady climbing. By the way it was still raining & we were soaked 7 not so happy! We did not imagine this ride having rain in it!
Once we hit the top & headed down the other side we both froze so we stopped & rugged up we even put on our rubber gloves.
We finally arrived at Cedar Creek Campsite without realising that we had left the route to get there? Blame it on the rain!
The campsite was very basic but next to a lovely river, we stood around in the rain deciding wither we should continue for another 30km or just set up camp in the rain - we decided to set up camp in the rain making good use of the tarp as an extension of the tent (God Bless that tarp - it is a godsend)!
After we set up we cooked, ate, cleaned up & crashed - Jo was asleep by 8pm, Scott about 9:30.
We woke during the night to hear the rain on the tent… it is a lovely noise when you are all snuggled up in your sleeping bag.
