Biking to Minnesota

 Nearly 100 miles today. Probably bit off a bit much trying to make tomorrow’s ride into Lewiston shorter. Rain threatened much of the day and it sprinkled on me for a couple hours. I had to change my planned route and destination when I encountered impassible mud at mile 85. I went northwest to Colfax instead and checked into a hotel, just barely beating a storm that basically blew me into town. Tomorrow should be easier.

 Just a quick update while on a snack break on Day 5. Yesterday I crossed the Columbia over a new ped/bicycle bridge and rode through 40 miles of dry, canyon-like service-free wilderness to Othello. Then continued southwest to camp at Scooteney Park. No cell service there so I couldn’t update last night. Continuing east today.
