south dakota
he lived!! although his bike didnt
As i said before there are a lot of pictures, these are all the way from montana, which we are in south dakota now!!! today was only a 80 mile day although the first part of the day wasnt that much fun with really long steep uphills and the end of the ride with 15 miles of hills and a very very very strong headwind. it was so strong at some points it almost knocked me off my bike and i was going about 3 miles per hour. the middle of the day although was great with a beautiful DOWNHILL ride through custer state park. i didnt get to see any buffalo :( but the downhill was awesome. about 4 miles till the end of the ride James got busted by a cop for urinating in public, (which was hillarious). he told him he couldve gone in the last town but it was 15 miles back and at 4 miles per hour.......you do the math, and that next time he would just have to pee on himself. hahahah!!!! then about a quarter of a mile from the "south dakota school of mining and technology" (which is where we are staying tonight) i was just riding along at my nice 3 mile an hour pace (due to headwind of cource) and my front tire got stuck in a drainage grate. the back of my bike came straight up vertical and i just fell over onto the ground. i couldnt get up to get out from under my bike for the longest time cause i was laughing so hard i could hardly breathe and i know the traffic was just thinking i was crazy, they were probly to scared of me to help anywase. well, tomorrows a rest day so i think patty and i might go get a pedicure if it works out but other than that just clean my bike and sleep sleep sleep. love you all and miss you!!!!
