midday heat. 2miles out of Riggins, I crossed Salmon River, which
happens to be the boundary between Mountain and Pacific Time, so I was
now back on Pacific Time for two days. It's all very confusing to the
uninitiated!!
Early morning, I met three other riders and we rode together for a
couple of hours, until we got to the bottom of the climb. They stopped
for breakfast and I headed on. The climb wasn't too bad and I got to
lunch early. I had another 50miles to go to Lowell, and the route took
me along the worst road yet. The road was winding and narrow, and lots
of trucks speed along not expecting to meet any cyclists. And as there
was no shoulder most of the way, I had to listen very carefully for
approaching trucks so I could jump off to the side in time. Quite
stressful all in all! As I'm going along the same road tomorrow, I'm
definitely putting on my rear lights, and I'll be ready to get out of
the way quickly!
