Day 1--Lewistown, MT to Denton, MT--39.84 miles

Our first biking day and I am feeling it. The 40 miles took it out of me today. We set off this morning at 9:00 which isn't too bad on the first day of eating breakfast, packing up, and taking off. The morning weather was calm and cloudy which made for some pleasant biking. By noon, however, the sun found us and also the wind sneaked up on us too. We encountered one pretty challenging hill of about 4 miles in length that took about 45 minutes to scale. It came towards the end of the ride and really sapped my energy, but we made it. We are updating from the library in Denton and when we finish here we will go find the city park to camp for the night. We were told at the local cafe that the pool is open for night swimming tonight at the park. More about that when we update next time.
