Left Ryegate about 8 in the morning and was in Roundup by 12:30 that afternoon. Fast ride to Lavina as I followed the river and had a nice tailwind. Stopped at the bar at Lavina to fill my water bottle. A must see if you ever go past this place. Here is a pic of the road and scenery along the Mqusselshell River.

Remember the old movie “Bridge Over the River Kwai”? Looks like the Brits didn’t quite finish this one off.<\/p>\n

\"Bridge<\/a>

Bridge over the river “why”<\/p><\/div>\n

A stop at the Bar north of Lavina to fill my water bottle grabs these images:<\/p>\n

\"How<\/a>

How did they know I was coming<\/p><\/div>\n

And my favorite pic:

\"Cheaper<\/a>

Cheaper to eat eggs than it is to go fishing?<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

The trip to Roundup from Lavina was going just fine until the temp got to be 95 degrees. I struggled making the last 7 miles even though it was a flat road. Heat is a power sucker for me. Got to town, found a motel, took a shower (first one in 6 days) and crashed. Walked downtown to grab some food and took these 2 photos.

Too bad but once was a pretty fast little city on the prairie and now is struggling it would appear to me. Main street is about 4 city blocks long and for the most part was boarded up both sides of the street. What once was a booming open pit coal mining community is almost a ghost town.<\/p>\n

And now the numbers:<\/p>\n

40.47 miles
\n3:28 minutes time
\n11.62 avg. speed
\n31.06 max speed<\/p>\n

275 total miles
\n27:06 minutes total time<\/p>\n

3 flying old glorys
\n2 road fatality crosses
\n6 road kills
\n1 diaper toss<\/p>\n

Its been fun.
