Day 12....Minot North Dakota to Stanley, ND....58 miles.
Riding a bicycle 4-8 hours a will put your lights out at night and last night at the Super 8 was no exception. Most mornings we're up before the alarm goes off, usually a little tired and leg sore but ready to get on the road. The tired legs disappear after a few miles on the road.
Today the wind was out of the east and really got cooking about 9:00 and pushed us along at a cool 15-30 miles per hour. We did 58 hilly miles before noon. Almost pushed on to Williston, another 72 miles but would have had 20 miles of cross winds. Today was so easy we're treating this as a kind of off day.
We have tentative plans to meet up with Tom and Ruth [Bill's son and his wife] wherever we land in eastern Montana on Monday night.
