Randy and I rode a hundred miles today from Fort Benton to Lewistown, Montana. The distance we ride right now is based somewhat on where we can get food and a place to sleep. Here in eastern Montana it can be a long way between towns; we have to plan, to have a strategy, it feels like a campaign figuring out where to ride. We look ahead 3 or 4 days and plan what we’re going to do.
We had the best breakfast of our trip this morning at Wake Coffee in Fort Benton. We got yogurt, honey, raspberries and blueberries in our oatmeal, and omelets made to order. They even filled my ‘on the bike coffee mug’ with coffee as we were leaving.
What towns we did see in our hundred miles todsy included Geraldine, Square Butte, and Denton. We stopped in Denton for a little while. They had a cafe and a very nice library which also doubles as a community center. We were glad to make it to Lewistown which is the exact geographic center of Montana. We are both tired after our ride today, on to Winnett tomorrow.
