We had very little wind and a pretty level ride today; a lot like riding at home. Jeff started riding with us at about 16 miles in. We were doing half mile pulls then rotating to the rear. The first SAG stop was at 32 miles. Then we started riding again and stopped at a Sinclar station/convience store at about 50 miles. The next SAG was at about 56 miles.
Herman and Ada, who are from the Netherlands, pulled into the SAG right behind us. Herman and Ada ride a bit faster than us. However, Satish asked if we could ride in with them. Ada took the front and Herman took the rear. The final 15 miles were almost a blur, just a lot of fun. On a couple of hills, Herman actually pushed Jeff up the hill.

Then we stopped at the Thirsty Duck for lunch and those who wanted some had beers. After lunch, we rode the final couple of miles to the hotel, only to have to wait an hour and a half for our room. Long story there, but mostly can be summed up with two words, poor service at the Sioux Falls ClubHouse Hotel and Suites. Here is my Yelp review:
