Miles 78.21 Total 3,461.72 Daily Ave. 70.65
Avg speed 13.7 Max Speed 24.9 Alt Climbed 3045 ft
This mornings ride we exited the Lochsa River gorge and the valley opened to more farm and pastureland. The Lochsa and Selway Rivers merged with the Clearwater River which we rode alongside until the final 10 mile uphill climb into Grangeville. I was 4 miles into the climb when I noticed the storm clouds building directly ahead. Three miles from town the winds picked up and the rain started. I quickly covered my cell phone and camera with a plastic baggie I was carrying and put on a jacket. The wind was quickly gusting and blowing stinging rain sideways as I continued up the mountain. We have been very lucky, this was the first storm I have been caught in, again our angels were watching over us as we were only three miles from our support group.
