These maps represent the number of cyclist who have passed through the Bacon Bike Hostel in Colville. It exists solely to serve distance cyclists traveling on the Northern Tier or anyone else travelling through Colville, WA. These Warm Shower hosts are top notch philanthropists, making Rob’s rest day a very productive one. On Fridays they host a community dinner and Rob enjoyed delicious seasonal soups and captivating conversations.
After a much needed rest day in Republic – Rob rose early and headed out of Colville in hopes of making it to Newport, Washington on the border of Idaho.
He ended up clocking over 96 miles by the end of the day on his way to dinner at his Warm Shower Hosts house in western Newport.
Rob arrived in Sandpoint, ID for lunch today, so it is official – He is making it happen for sure.
Pictures from the road where Rob’s view is closer to the flow of a river than the climb through a mountain range.
Tonight his destination is Hope, how appropriate! Not quite sure of the miles – but I know it is a full day in the saddle.
I hope to rendezvous with him on Tuesday in Northern Montana – Keeping the rubber side down, Julie and Rob

Tell Rob hello from us we’re enjoying the trip. Did he go over I believe strawberry pass from colville to sand point. I ride that pass in the pouring rain, so much water I couldn’t see. Ride to Hope us beautiful along the lake.
Don’t blink or you with lose all “ Hope” you thought you had. Ride up into Montana will be beautiful. Tell him good luck and stay safe
