Sandpoint, ID to Libby,

99 miles
"Things are not as they appear." [Mark Bazerman]
We shuttled out from the Bottle Bay Resort to highway 95, which wasn't cheating because we had already ridden to that point. Some shuttled out around 7, and the rest (including me) a little after 8am. We had headwinds on 200 until we got to our lunch stop at the Boar's Breath Bar. Sadly, the mascot from last year is no longer with us (see below). I also determined that eaing fried food (fish) at lunch is a bad idea. Then we headed north on 56, where the hills felt uphill even when they looked downhill. Finally we turned east on our favorite road, highway 2, for the final 15 miles into Libby.

The mascot of the Boar's Breath Bar has sadly passed away since last
year's group went through:
Here we are just after turning north on highway 56 (Mark Bazerman is
