departing

Hello all and sorry to keep you in suspense. Because of the accident what had meant to be a single rest day in Missoula has become four days and we are leaving this morning. During that time we were able to have a loaner frame kindly shipped out by my parents and Jim's bicycle shop. (our place of work) We put it all together at a local co-op bicycle shop which allowed me to use their tools. We also ended up with a chance to go whitewater rafting down Alberton gorge! It was amazingly fun. Then we got the classic ice cream from adventure cycling headquarters! yum. While at adventure cycling I also discovered that in reality my bike and gear together weigh 90lbs, while Maura's only weighs 64. So after dropping the old frame at fed-ex to ship home we will be out of this town for good. Sorry no photos at the moment but there will be soon.
