P2P day 24

In case you wondered what I’ve been doing for the last few days, this is it.  We’ve been fighting 20-30 mph winds across South Dakota and riding in an echelon formation can put the riders in the back in the draft of the rider in front of them, making pedaling easier.(cyclists please bear with me while I describe echelon riding to non riders) The rider in front “pulls” for a short time then rotates to the back and the next rider takes over.  This continues until the wind ceases, changes direction or you reach your destination.  Imagine doing this for 70 miles with just 3 riders and that was my day today.

  Suddenly it occurred to me that I should turn left.

P2P (pub to pub) continues

I’ll arrive in state number seven, Minnesota, tomorrow. 

Out.
