Today was 78 miles with a strong southerly wind, which meant we were biking into a headwind for about 10 miles and the rest of the time having a strong cross wind. The morning went fine because it was a cool breeze which for me was a pleasant change. The afternoon was harder because by that time the breeze was more like a warm wind. A nice highlight of the day was stopping in a bakery in Rosco, with a population of 707. We came in to be greeted by Dennis the owner who offered us a cold wet towel and bottled water. We lingered there for over an hour each of us ordering some sort of pastry. He was originally from Portland, OR and did not have anything good to say about Rosco, S.D. He moved there because his parents retired there. It was not what one expected to find in a town of 700.
I did manage to complete today's ride, but needed a nap when we fun ally got in. We are about to have dinner and after dinner I am running the meeting. It should be interesting. I'm hoping that we can change the way our jobs are assigned.
Tomorrow is only 30 miles which will be very nice. It would be even better if it was cloudy or cool but I have a feeling that is asking for too much.
