It's about 450 miles for me, although I haven't decided
which route I'm taking yet. I'll probably leave 8-9am and get there late afternoon. I'm leaning towards the Libby route since I've never seen the road between Libby and Kalispell.
If you get there Thursday I'm sure I'll be hanging out in the Grand Hotel bar or out back with the bikes, depending on how many people are there early. This is the first year I'm arriving before Friday evening. It sounds like quite a few people get there a day early for some extra riding (In fact, a few were too tired to go riding Saturday!). Anyway, just watch for my bike which will still be orange (dangitall) with plate, "BOLLOX."
If you get there Thursday and have any problems extending your stay at the Hume(idor) let me know. I've got an extra bed until Freedom gets there Friday.
