We rode to The Coffee Hound, Shelia's coffee shop in Havre where we ate breakfast pastries and frozen sweet coffee drinks. We said our goodbyes to Lawrence and Shelia. As we left town we were happily pushed along by a strong tailwind. After a good days rest we were rolling over 20mph no problem. We had a good day of riding and rolled along with little resistance. We arrived in Malta, ate at the local grocery store and after a flat change in town we found the public park in town that had a great pavilion to camp in as a beautiful sunset filled the sky. At the part we were shocked by the arrival of a truck with a sprayer tank on the back fumigating the park for mosquitos. Not wanting to expose ourselves more than we had to we made our way to the banks of the river and watched a stunning sunset. We returned to camp and went to bed. During the night we were hit by a brief storm which nearly blew away some of our belongings, but after a few minutes it subsided.
We kept the pace up on an absolutely beautiful day through a great part of the state.
Riding no hands is a lot of fun. Warning: when the wall of air from a truck traveling quickly in the opposing lane hits you, it can shake your balance a bit if you are riding in the car lane going 25 mph as I learned in my near fall on this beautiful day.
