Today we started our 83 mile ride in Chamberlain, SD. We faced pretty strong headwinds for most of the day, which made it a tough ride for the team. Many of the riders were surprised at all of the open space along the route today. There was one stretch of road that did not have any towns or stores for about 47 miles. The scenery in South Dakota along the route was very pretty though and helped the teams push through and finish the ride to Pierre. We were also lucky enough to receive many food donations from restaurants in Pierre. We’d like to thank Arby’s, Hardees, and China Buffet for their hospitality and generosity. The team has a long day of 96 miles tomorrow, which means an early bed time for many of us.
