Paul calls in from Ovando

Hello!!! uhh Paul Howard checking in here from Ovando still in Montana just uhh an explanation of my short day yesterday, set off from Whitefish and only got as far as Swan lake which was just over about 60 miles. Uhh probably from not eating enough these past few days because of a dicky tummy. And even though I ate nicely and well yesterday in the morning and at lunchtime I kind of ran out of energy by the afternoon. I was also a bit fed up of getting into places late and then setting off late. I'm gonna try to catch up on sleep and have had a short day. Trying to get into a different routine of setting off early which has worked so far cus I’ve now made it another 100 miles from Swan lake through to Ovando and that was nice, tough going over Richmond peak and frankly it’s nice to get out of all those trees. Two other quick things, update on physical ailments - not to bad, slightly soar knees, bit of saddlesore gotta tell my youngest Thomas and Freddie to get on with that potty training as I'll need that nappy cream! Seeing as though there are no other Tour Divide riders around if anybody wants to come ride with me tomorrow im off on route to Helena and then the next day probably to Butte so if you can find the route out everyone knows me in the green Mr Cycles top. All subjects of conversation considered... Leeds United football (that's soccer to the Americans), Montana trees, more Montana trees anything else?…that’s it talk to ya soon bye!
