Day 15... Wolf Point to Glasgow, MT...50 miles.
THE WIND: West at 20 mph to hurricane. Knock you on your butt. Blow the stripes off the pavement. Pee across a 4 lane highway. It's like riding up a mountain that never ends. Time to leave the bikes at home, travel east, call a cab or stick out the thumb. .
We fought the good fight but gave up after 36 miles, we were looking at 3 hours to go the last 14 mikes. Threw in the towel at Nashua, MT, I went into the local café and asked if anyone with a pickup truck, which was everyone, wanted to make 40 bucks for driving us to Glasgow; there is poor wheat crop so before it was over they were fighting over us in the parking lot.
