Today we had a 89.6 mile ride from Stephen to Murdo,SD. On the way we saw some horses and tried to chase them for some pictures. We also saw ponies and alpacas a few miles later! The ride went smoothly, despite it being above 100 degrees out and grasshoppers hopping all over the street and hitting our bikes. In the end we all made it and a lot of us went out for icecream to celebrate.We'd like to give special thanks to the family that stopped to helped us out this morning, as well as the gas station that kindly gave us ice to cool our water at the lunch stop! We'd also like to thank Murdo Drive-In for providing us with such great ice cream! Thanks also to the Buffalo Bar for providing us with food donations, and the United Methodist Church for letting us sleep there!With love,The Illini 4000
