The call this morning is Put on Your Sunscreen. FULL SUN this morning & a favorable tailwind. With a temperature of 45° they climbed on at 0818. Glad to be leaving Montana 675 miles 26,000ft of climb 13 days. Treat us right North Dakota!
HELLO NORTH DALOTA!
They said 13 miles was a nice distance so let’s do it again. After another 8 miles they have made their destination (according to the spreadsheet) by 1230. Guess that’s why it’s written in sand. After a quick ice cream, by one of the riders they are back on the bikes again….OH they were closed for the track meet!
They wanted Scranton ND next. I told them it looked like it was off the highway. They had a Highway lunch at the Scranton ND junction.
Next break was Reeder ND and they wanted drinks & to re-evaluate. They wanted another 10 miles OR a comfort station. I struck pay dirt at 8.5 miles in Bucyrus!
Buck’s quote. We touched down in 3 different states today!!
Al’s quote. Man, I can’t believe that I was nearly taken out by a grouse. An oncoming car hit the large bird and it rolled like a bowling ball tracking towards my front wheel. Near takedown avoided. Whew!
Day 23. Baker MT to White Butte SD. 102 miles. 3110 feet of climb. Rode in 3 states today: MT, ND and SD.
