    • sweet rest

    I ate breakfast at The Knight Diner in Spokane, which is a converted rail car where the only seats are up against the counter and they cook the food right on front of you. I had french toast, an egg, and bacon. It was the perfect start to the day.



    Jess, another rider, had her husband at home call ahead to Spokane to see if he could find a masseuse. I just happened to be by her when she announced that her husband found a masseuse who was having a new client special of $42 for a one-hour massage, and had two more appointments available on our rest day. I snapped one of them up, and it was the best $42 I've ever spent.

    I spent the rest of the day cleaning my bike, doing laundry, writing this blog, and generally getting my life in order. It's been a much needed and perfectly timed break!

      Hey!

      You're doing such a good job, keep going!

      It's such an amazing trip you're doing and probably the best way if seeing America.

      I bet in a few weeks 86 miles a day will be nothing and you'll be feeling fantastic!

      All the beat of luck and fun!
