I no longer have to cool comfortable weather of Yellowstone and Montana and I miss it. I continued along route 95 following the Salmon river to the town of Riggins where I met 4 other people on tour. They were all spending the night in town and I was contemplating to do the same after feeling the temperature shoot up into the 90s. I had a burger and a milkshake at a local cafe and afterward couldn't help feeling like a million bucks, Jumped back on my bike and headed for New Meadows another 42 miles and 2000 feet in elevation away.
10 minutes into the ride i had my shirt off and was sweating profusely. The sun seemed to get stronger in the late afternoon. I powered up the inclines, needing to take a few breaks before reaching the very small and sleepy town of New Meadows where I had a steak dinner special at the local bar and crashed right after, totally wiped from riding in the heat.
