Day #60-Darby to Missoula, MT 65 miles

Mary, the owner of the RV Park were we stayed, recommended the Montana Cafe to us so we gave it a try.  The guy waiting on us showed Steve how big the pancakes were but he ordered two anyway!  They were a foot in diameter!  A good start!  

We were flanked by the Bitterroot Mountains for the entire trip into Missoula.  Missoula is a very bike-friendly city.  We actually were on a bike trail for more than 20 miles entering town. There seemed to be bike lanes on every street we rode as well.  We visited the Adventure Cycling Association (ACA) offices and feasted on complementary sweets. We got our pictures taken for their wall.  They had a secure bike corral crammed with commuter bikes.  It was good to see!

Our plan to stay in a hostel near the ACA officesfell through and a Days Inn I found online was closed.  We settled for a very crummy Motel 6.

You need to submit this picture to a biking magazine. It’s a beauty....

Glad Missoula is bike-friendly! I'm sure it felt like a luxury to ride on the bike trail, as opposed to the Motel 6! I'm sure you both had BIG smiles for your photo-op, especially Steve after eating the foot long pancakes!
