More North Dakota

Today we were leaving Minot and headed to New Town, ND. I was supposed to sweep, but because a large group of riders wanted to stay in town and get coffee before they left, one of them volunteered to do this. By the time this was decided, most everyone else had left, so I had to book it for the first 10 miles to catch people. It was kinda fun, but it was also exhausting. After I caught people we took it slow, which was nice. The whole ride until lunch was a piece of cake. There were basically no winds and the scenery was awesome. By the time lunch came the winds had picked up and it looked like a storm was coming. Behind our lunch stop we found a really cool field of sunflowers, so we took some photos. We also had a Kodak moment at the hay bales. After lunch I rode through the really strong headwinds with Heather, and we stopped a lot for more photos. It just seemed like the day for pictures, as we could see for miles down the long straight roads, that were surrounded by fields. At the end of the ride we arrived in New Town, put our bikes at the High School, and went our for some ice cream and burgers. Afterwards I put a call into the family reunion and talked to a bunch of people and wished I could have been there. Dinner wasn't provided, so we made mexican again. The rest of the night consisted of everyone trying to catch up on their journals in the computer lab at the school.
