The loneliest road in America got lonelier.
Today I rode the almost 80 miles with Doug from NIU. We finished first, but it was a very, very long day.
Headwinds were the story of today. I made the mistake of complaining about them yesterday. Today they were about 3x as strong. There were moments where we felt as if we were going to be blown off the road and even had to peddle while going down steep grades because the wind was trying to blow us back up the hill.
Once at White Pine high school we were treated to a dinner by their student council. We then performed our team dance (sorry, no pictures), which they got a kick out of watching us.
After dinner a good number of us went to see man of steel at the local theatre in town. My personal recommendation: don't see unless you love incredibly extended action scenes. The movie was very long, but it was fun to hang out with everyone.
Tomorrow we will be trekking to the tiny town of Baker. We will be increasing their population by about 50%!
Once again thanks for checking in!
Love & Honor,
Beau
