Circle to Sidney, 75 miles. Thunderstorms predicted, but none materialized, except for the big one in the middle of the night in Circle. Some flat riding, but mostly the same continuous series of ups and downs, culminating in a nice downhill run into Sidney, near the banks of the Yellowstone River. The Yellowstone forms the Montana-North Dakota boundary in these parts. Tonight we're paying too much for a hotel room because the 3 RV parks in town are a) full and b) scuzzy. Tomorrow (a rest day) we'll move to a primitive campsite in a county park north of town.
Rich seems to be getting stronger every day on the bike. I'm not, but I hold my own, except on the climbs.
Right now I'm looking forward to being out of the Great Plains, but I know we still have many more days here. I need to get re-inspired!
Hi Guys!
ReplyDeleteI was talking to Mom on the phone today, and she asked where y'all had gotten to. I told her, and she said it sounded like you'd be somewhat on time to hit Teal. She should still be up there -- staying at Jim's cabin on Teal. She's looking forward to seeing you.
