Day 14: Pierre, SD Elevation: 1744

Miles: 73.53
Average Speed: 12.66
Max Speed: 24.30
Total Miles: 429

The gods were smiling today, or maybe it was the hippie family and home-cooked meal.  Took two hour long breaks and more than a dozen shorter. Temp in mid 80s and no wind after 55 miles, and then it was partially following.  A good day all in all.

These photos are from the little hamlet of Blunt, SD.  I'll post a few of Pierre tomorrw and of the river which is still above flood stage.




I hope you're all doing well.

  2. Impressive day!!! I'm so glad that the conditions have improved. The heat wave has hit the northeast this week and I can barely manage a run let alone 55 miles of riding. I'm glad that you sat the worst of it out and you are back on the road again.
