KEVIN & RILEY – The weather was better today. The rain stopped soon after we awoke. We noted ice on the windshield. Wearing all the layers we had, we rode. I thought at one point that a snowball was thrown at me while riding along, then realized it was just snow coming off a passing truck. Riley’s feet were numb but he chose not to wear the wind socks that I did.
LAUREN & PEACH – Another day at the trailer office.
SUZI – At this point, there have been many variations on our days. Due to the cold weather today, I leapfrogged the boys through their ride. A person could Google “hypothermia” to assess the risk, or a person can just stay close and offer a warm car to her loved ones from time to time. While enjoying the scenery from the toasty driver’s seat of the Pathfinder (mileage: 225,462 – heater: fully functional), and waiting here and there on the side of the road, I phoned my sisters and checked email. Tiny Saco, MT offered some interesting old buildings for photographs, and a pasture with four lovely mares and four energetic foals entertained me for quite some time. In Glasgow I found a cycle shop with some nice warm gloves and head cover for future cold days. Wish we’d had them to start today. The boys ended their ride at the Taco Shack in Glasgow where we met for lunch.
