Day 5 - The ride to the Badlands

Date: 08/13/2007

My General Condition: Very hot, very tired and very excited...

General Observations: South Dakota goes on forever...it makes coming across PA a walk in the park. It was hot and windy until I came over the hills and across the big river (not sure the name) and then I hit a WALL of oven heat...blowing at me at sustained 40 mile an hours winds

Starting Point: Mason City, Iowa
Ending Point: KOA Badlands Nat'l Park
Miles Ridden: 528

General Weather: Hotter than 'HELL and Windy'. I found a thermometer in the shade at a rest area and it said 107 at 1:45 this morning.

Ride Conditions: Very hard...it is late an I am really tired...I'll finish in the morning.
