Ione, Idaho 85 ish miles so far

More really gorgeous scenery! And finally no wind!!!!
When I first mentioned this cycling trip to my mom she suggested that I just stay in Invermere and cycle around there. I was all 'you don't get it!' but now that I'm back in the BC/Washinton region - it is some of the best cycling of the entire trip. Temperature, road conditions, scenery. Everything.

Unfortunatly, think I pulled some sort of muscle in my left leg. Body - for the last three months you have been a rock star. You have stoically accepted endless abuse without complaint (well except the day out of phoenix, az. But that day was so full of fail that it doesn't count). Knees - you have exceeded my wildest ache-free expectations. I've barely even had a sniffle. HOWEVER - Please PLEASE hold it together for the next five days!

Tomorrow the climbing begins in earnest. 1300 foot climb warm up and then the main course - 4000+ feet to the top of Sherman's Pass. I may try to get the 1300 footer out of the way today, as it is only three in the afternoon.
