Cats & Dogs


Well, it stormed cats and dogs last night.  By morning our tents had, no joke, about a half inch of water in them.  By 9 a.m. the rain didn't seem to be letting up anytime soon so we decided to pack up and leave instead of wait it out.  It was a mad, wet dash to pack everything but we were on the road by 10.
The wind was intense probably gusts up to 30 mph and, thankfully, at our backs.  It blew us all the way to Harris, Minnesota by lunch time.  After our meal at the local cafe we made our way to Cambridge for a few supplies: food, hardware for Roy's bike, and some guidance and a new chain from The Outdoor Edge, the local bike shop in town.

By this time the wind had died down and we finished the ride under heavy cloud cover to one of the coolest places to stay. EVER. It's called the Adventure Cyclists Bunkhouse hosted by a farmer named Donn Olson who loves cyclists.  We have also meet a cool crew of bikers here.  Sandra, Ben and Connor are coming from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania and are on their 20th day. Cool People :)
