Day 24/20 : August 1, 2011

Hingham, MT to Havre, MT

*

I woke to what I thought was rain, but it was the sprinklers hitting the pavillion.
*
I had a short ride planned for today
 so I closed my eyes again.
*
I was only riding about 37 miles to Havre.
There was a hotel room waiting for me.
My brothers treat.
*
It was a hot again, but luckily with some cloud cover.

 This train was 204 cars.

*

And those were the top sites for the day.

*

When I arrived in town, pleasantly surprised by the size, I called up the bike shop

to find their location.

 I have been having trouble with my bike seat,

and was hoping for a trade.

When I arrived it was stocked with bikes from ceiling to floor.

No joke.

He was climbing over bikes to show me some of the

saddles he had.

None suited.

*

After a couple other stops,

I paid a visit to

Scotty's.

and They had an ice cream challenge.

Right up my ally.

It was named

 "The Big Sky"

A 12-scoop challenge.

If you finished, your picture was put on the wall.

If you finished in record time, you got it free.

And, if I finished it...

I would be the first solo girl to do it.

I finished it easily.

I was going for the gold, but was soon interrupted by a gentlemen and his daughters

swamping me with questions.

I still at it in 20 mins.

Half way through, the manager asked, "How I was doing?"

I fib, and I followed with,  "It is going to be tough."

I laughed inside.

At the end, he asked if I was going to beable to get on my bike.

"Well I hope."

I was thinking...I could finish another.
