Day 33 – 2013-08-10, Saturday – Missoula, MT

A new day, but this one is a bit different – today we go to the Farmers’ Market! Ok, we only find one of the three … what is it with websites for a place that do not give you an address, or at least an intersection? Really?

Got some Tuna, Scallops, and a bunch of fresh veggies. Yeah!

After that, we get changed and head out to Rattlesnake Trailhead. Gonna try one of the local trails, with only about 2,000 feet of climbing, see how we do. Long story short, not worth a crap! We got tired of pushing the bikes up a REALLY steep hill, so we just bailed really, REALLY close to the top and went back the way we came. Why bail so close to the top? We were toasted, and the return had the potential to be very confusing, and very easy to do more distance than anticipated, so we went the safe route. On the plus side, it was a screamer of a downhill (after the REALLY steep part – that was not so much fun), and the last part of it no brakes at probably 20 miles an hour – fun stuff!

Late lunch/early dinner (the tuna), and tonight, also an early beddie-bye time. Good night, folks, I’m bushed! Tomorrow? Maybe rest day for me and The Bear. The kid is all go-go-go … well, he can go, go, go – I’ll sleep in!
