Tom went to an urgent care near the hospital in Missoula, which confirmed the two broken ribs. The doc told him that it’s usual for broken ribs to flare up after a few days to the inflammation and fluid build up over time. The doctor said it would be beneficial for Tom to keep on biking, but that he might experience another episode with spasms at the fracture site, but she also prescribed medication for the pain.
Tom and I visited the Adventure Cycling office where we had a guided tour of the office and bike museum, and photo session for Adventure Cycling history books.
A review of our maps shows that tomorrow’s ride will start the big climb from 3000 ft. of elevation at Missoula, to Chief Joseph Pass at 7241 ft. then down to a little over 6000 feet and back to big hole pass at 7360, and then down to 6000 feet again, and up to badger pass at 6760 feet, then down to twin bridges at 4800 feet and then up to another unnamed peak at about 7000 feet, then down to Ennis at about 5000 feet, and up again to West Yellowstone at about 6800 feet. Sounds like fun!
