The chinese buffet was awesome. It was no China Jade, but it was awesome. Me and 9 other of the super hungry guys put that place out of business.We've made it into South Dakota... Sioux Falls to be exact. Getting through Minnesota was no easy task. The last three days were hands down the windiest of the trip. It doesn't help that there hasn't been a whole lot to look at... mostly corn, cows, silos, and farmhouses. Occassionally, we'll go through a small town, maybe with a water tower.I think yesterday was one of the toughest days for the group as a whole. We were pretty much riding into a 30 mile headwind the whole way for an 85 mile ride. Needless to say, spirits weren't high... I did the majority of the ride with James and Adam and even Adam, who is usually my favorite guy to ride with, was down in the dumps for awhile... Me and that guy have so many great running jokes that we've accumulated, most of which are either too stupid or innappropriate to post on here.Last night we had another great meal prepared for us in Jackson, which was great after that miserable ride. Then me and two other riders wondered around the town for a little... nothing exciting, typical small town.Today we had a 95 mile ride into Sioux Falls- another windy day, but not quite as bad as yesterday. Things were actually going pretty smooth and we were making great time till the last 8 miles or so when the rider in front of me, Tim, took a major spill and flipped over a few times. It looked really bad and I was pretty sure he was going to be messed up, but things turned out not too bad. He got some pretty nasty scrapes and dinged his head pretty hard. An EMT happened to be driving by and she stopped and eventually some ambulances showed up and we all came to the conclusion to take him to the hospital just to get his head checked out since he seemed a little out of it. He is all fine now though. I think I've mentioned Tim, but if I haven't- he is a great dude. I ride with him quite a bit and definitely enjoy his company. Hopefully, he'll be back on the road tomorrow.We didn't get too much of a chance to check out much of Sioux Falls beyond the Dairy Queen down the street. Maybe tomorrow we'll ride through some of the city, I guess its a decent size. Tomorrow we have an 80ish mile ride into Mitchell, where we have a rest day and there is rumored to be a palace made of corn.I'm at 19 donuts for the tripSorry to all for the lack of returning phone callsI just realized that tomorrow is July 1, which I think is the start of NHL free agency. Someone text me or something if the sabres pick up someone noteworthy. I don't have high hopes.
