Completed 73 miles with about 1,100 feet of elevation gain. Great ride today, light winds and nice lunch at a local Chinese restaurant at the end of the ride.
We stopped at a Cenex Station/Convenience Store and we were eating ice pops in the store about 15 miles outside of the town we were staying in. We started talking to the girl behind the counter (Danielle) and she the Chinese Restaurant is pretty good. So that is where we went and indeed iyt was very good.
We had a nice ride along the Big Sioux River heading over to Sioux Falls; here are a couple of clips
The Big Sioux south of Sioux Falls is much more polluted with E. coli, fecal coliform, and suspended solids. It seemed like as we were riding along the river, it kind of smelled like crap.
NEW STATE TODAY, hello Minnesota!
Interesting how the scenery seemed to dramatically change almost as soon as we crossed the state line. Just seemed like the greens were darker and the vegetation more lush. Still lots of corn and soy growing on both sides of the road today. Also, the condition of the roads seemed to be much better in MN vs. SD.
