Today was a rather uneventful rest day in Rapid City. It was hot and smoky so I didn't do much. I took a couple walks to do laundry and get food, did some work, and watched some TV. Tomorrow we head into our third block of riding, which starts with back-to-back long days. Luckily we've made it past the Rockies so now we just have to hope for favorable winds and not too much heat.
I'm off to find dinner and enjoy the remaining few hours.
Trip Recap:
Days riding: 18
Total distance: 1631 miles

Amazing and inspiring stuff, Gideon! I was feeling lazy about going to the gym today but after reading through you most recent posts, I am feeling all pumped up! ;)
