Another
day in Montana and being surrounded by farmland/grassland. After the
short days during the last few days, I had to cover a longer
distance, today. Still with the tailwinds it wasn't too hard and I
arrived again early in my destination for the day. I arrived in
Malta,MT at around 1:30pm. I will probably not arrive quite as early
tomorrow, since I will have to cover about 90 miles.
Again
a later start into the day after watching some Fifa World Cup in the
morning and a really nice breakfast. At breakfast I met a touring
cyclist on his way to Bemidji, to visit his son. He was just on his
way to leave when I came to breakfast, so we only talked for a short
while. He wanted to get going, since he had to deal with some strong
headwinds on his way east. A little bit later on my route I saw
another touring cyclist going east and fighting against the wind. I
was quite happy to have the wind on my side again. Hopefully it will
stay like this for the longer day tomorrow. The ride was again quite
uneventful, I stayed the whole time on US2 and there was just
farmland/grassland along the way. Most of the time there was a wide
shoulder, so the traffic on US2 didn't bother me too much. The only
thing that bothered me were all the Mosquitoes. Today I was bitten by
so many Mosquitoes, it was the first time on my trip I really had an
issue with Mosquitoes. Let's see how it will be during the next few
days.
Conclusion
for the day:
I
really need to get some insect repellent.
