Best Worst Day Ever

The morning ride flew by until just before lunch, when the weather decided to start raining. This rain wasn't too heavy, but it was absolutely freezing. People were huddling in the van and trailer while they ate their lunches. It was quite the sight. After lunch it continued to rain for a few miles and then clear up. Just as we thought we would get to the church without any more bad weather, the skies turned absolutely black and it began to downpour. This rain was coming down harder than I had ever seen it. Kat and I tried to keep riding though it, but had to stop because it hurt too much as it was hitting our faces and the wind was blowing us sideways. While we were stopped, we happened to look up and see a billboard that simply read, "Have a Great Day!" We thought this was absolutely hilarious and quite ironic. The rain eventually passed, but the winds never died down. It was okay though, because the winds completely dried our clothes. The down side was that the wind was so bad it was hard to keep the bike straight. We eventually entered into Minot, rode passed the state fair and with one more steep hill we arrived at the church and couldn't have been any happier. Everyone just relaxed until dinner. After dinner almost all of us decided to go bowling. It was really awesome. There was also a bar there so the 21+ were happy. I don't think anyone could of had a better night at the alley. My game wasn't too good though. The first game I only managed a 75, but the second game I picked it up and bowled a 137. Back at the church after bowling we all gathered on the couches around a big screen and watched American Flyers, a movie about biking. At the end of the movie it was 2 am and half of the people watching were already asleep. We were able to do this because tomorrow is our second day off!
