Last night we did a portrait with Jeff, a member of the church that is a prostate cancer survivor. He was kind enough to come share his story with us, and we are thankful he did so.

We dedicated today’s ride to Maren’s grandmother Dorry, who is a breast cancer survivor. After our usual morning routine we rolled out on our 118 mile ride. It was was a long, windy day.

It was chilly again this morning, and stayed pretty cool until about 3:00 when the sun decided to come out. I think everyone is starting to feel all of these miles, and it will be nice to have a few shorter rides in the future. The wind was consistent all day, although we did enjoy some tailwinds at the end. The roads are also getting less busy which makes for a more enjoyable ride.

We are staying at Onida Presbyterian Church in Onida, SD. We were provided with a delicious dinner and an ice cream social in which we were able to socialize with community members.

We are all looking forward to a good night’s sleep!
