Had a great ride today from Bhul, ID ( 13 miles SW of Twin Falls) to Missoula, MT. Not a freeway taken. Started on 93, then jogged off to 75 to go through Sun Valley and the Saw Tooth Rec. Area. Crossed over 8700' Galena Summit. Fabulous scenery, some fun twisties and lots of sweeping high speed turns. Got stuck behind about 20 women riding Hogs that had no concept about the few passing lanes or slower traffic to the right. They were taking the 20 MPH signed curves at 20, if not slower. Finally got to a long uphill grade where the slow lane was separated by plastic poles, about 30' apart. Would they get into the slow lane? Noooo. I finally went over there and passed the bunch. They were spread out just enough that I couldn't pick them off one of two at a time.argh! I'm all for people enjoying the road but geez, get a clue.
Enough ranting. The weather was great, sunny in the upper 80°s and hard to find a nicer day to rack up another 450 miles. Kalispell and Whitefish tomorrow. Happy times��
