Aug 28: Kalispell to Polson 84 km

Rest stop

We got underway rather late, but today a short day was planned.  The road from Kalispell was somewhat erratic.  We had a bike path for the first 25km but the path ended and we were on a busy road with heavy traffic.  The shoulder was wide and safe in spots and narrow or non-existent in other spots.  Unfortunately the wide shoulder usually had tons of debris scattered around.  I picked up my first flat of the trip, but we were back in business quickly.  Better than the poor lady we passed at the intersection.
