Riding Day Thirty – July 24 to Huron, South Dakota

Total miles 2080
Time on the bike today was 6 hours and 30 minutes

Today's major milestone is that I passed the halfway mark, in mileage and days. Thirty more days to Maine.

Today’s ride was again long amid the endless fields, though the wind had let up so the going was easier. We rode as a group today listening to my iPod and speakers that I hooked to my handle bars.

My thought about family out here is that they have to get along really well, because the neighbors are so few and far.




The Daily Horse


Here's looking at you, Bud


The Sometimes Mule


The Shy LLama


Miles and miles of fields. There was only one convenience store on today’s 86 mile ride


Sunflower plants forever

Not so fast now!!!....It's a lonely road deliberately picked by spoiled urban bikers in their girlie stretch pants to avoid traffic....just shift your direction of travel a wee bit and you can get all the goodies you need.....it's all good.
