It started to rain softly on the sides of the tent at around 6 am. The timing wasn’t good. I waited another 45 minutes or so but it only rained\u00a0harder. \u00a0 About 7 I decided to get going in spite of the rain and I was on my bike by 9:30am.<\/p>\n

It was cold and wet. \u00a0A combination that is particularly disagreeable in the morning.<\/p>\n

As I was packing up the fellow from Helena generously offered a cup of coffee. I declined hoping instead to get warm cycling.<\/p>\n

It turned out to be cold and rainy the whole day. The one good thing was that for most of the day I had a decent tail wind.<\/p>\n

By noon I arrived at Coonie’s Cafe for a good lunch. From there I took highway 20 directly to Ashton instead of following the meandering GDMBR; the day was not nice enough to enjoy the scenery or the bumpy roads.<\/p>\n

I arrived in Ashton about 4pm in the pouring rain. \u00a0 The descent into Ashton was particularly tricky because the rain was hurting my eyes at 30 miles per hour.<\/p>\n

I had supper at Chriswells Trails Inn, \u00a0which wasn’t an inn at all, and slept at Eagle’s Hotel\/motel which was too big and nice for such a small town.<\/p>\n
