Day 18 Biking. WITH Friends

Spokane to Harrison Id. 57 miles

Chris came with me today, or more exactly led me out of Spokane, along a series of back roads and into Idaho. I was surprised at how nice it was to have company. Of course Chis is a particularly companionable fellow, but as we rode along bantering about whatever subjects came up I realized I was much less focused on the miles ridden and the miles yet to ride. I hardly thought of what progress was being made. Although it was sunny at dawn as the day rolled along it became more inclement, till about an hour before quiting we were in full rain. My preparations for rain seemed to be adequate as I arrived at Harrison Idaho in quite dry condition. We took a motel and went out to dinner. The last ten miles or so were along a trail running on the east side of Lake Coeur d'alene. It was as nice a ride as one can have. After dinner we caught Obama's speech... How could he not be elected?
