Day

miles ...... 1624
total miles
Woke up rested hoping for a tailwind, not today! We rode almost
all day on secondary roads, old highway 10 and ND-139, not much traffic and very
scenic. We had lots of time to absorb the scenery as we were grinding into a steady
headwind. We saw 2 groups of touring cyclists, 3 folks going our way to Boston
and 2 guys enjoying the tailwind riding from Portland, ME to Portland, OR. We
stopped in Richardton at Clara's Cafe for lunch and a break from the wind. Great
soup and friendly folks! After lunch we pedaled an hour or so and met Roxy's brother
Bob along the road. He's hauling a trailer from Indiana to Kelowna, BC. Great
to see him again, he had cold sodas for us! A welcome treat in rural North Dakota
farm country. The guys riding west said the wind is supposed to switch tomorrow,
we're hoping so!

town west of Billings. It comes out once a week and we were interviewed while
taking a break outside the chamber of commerce.
