Glasgow,MT - Wolf Point,MT (53 miles)
Today might have been the hardest day yet. It took us 7 hours to ride 53 miles due to 10-15 mile per hour head winds. It is amazing the difference in how far you can ride depending on the direction of the wind. The wind not only slows you down, but at times the sound it makes can be deafening.
Even with the wind it was still a beautiful ride. Not too hot, the wind took care of most of the insects, and as always we met some curious and friendly people.
We are spending the night in a public park next to a pool, so while we showered (open room style) all the little girls were super curious about us. Our hair, our tan lines, and our weird "bathing suits" (aka bras and underwear). But after all their questions fought over who was going to share their shower with us and showed us some dance moves. Jeremy and Casey got to shower with little boys, so you can only imagine what their shower time consisted of!
Oh, and we decided to treat ourselves to some cookies tonight since we worked so hard today (and we could us the extra calories). Cinnamon rolls, duplex cookies, vanilla oreos, and cookie dough. Yum!
Tonight the weather is calling for thunderstorms, so I guess we'll see. The rainfly is on, our clothing is drying in the bathroom and we have checked the lawn for sprinklers. We should be set!

Is the thing on the right just a brick of cookie dough?
I miss you guys. Love the blog. Thought of you yesterday as I affixed a milk crate to my bike and MacGyver'd a rack to hold my U-lock while I ride.
