Another shitty, boring windy day. Would have been lovely if I was heading east with the wind.

I spent the day in a trance. Instead of watching the road ahead of me, I watched the reflection of the road, reflected onto my sunglasses, reflected into my helmet mirror.

Kept me entertained for a few hours but left me with crossed-eyes.

They let me back into the USA, surprisingly. Was hoping to be in Glacier National Park tonight but riding with a constant side wind was too tiring.

Ah… Today was the first enjoyable day of riding I’ve had for a very long time. I got up early and rode straight into the park, it was still cold and wet but the scenery was fantastic. I eventually got to the summit of the road and was then treated to a 12 mile downhill ride through some of the most fan-fucking-tastic scenery ever.

Was treated to another bear sighting. I’ve got that shit-eating grin back on my face again.

Pulled into a closed National Park campground and treated myself to a 12” pizza from the store just outside. Convenience plus.
