Day 11

The final was very long boring ride across South Dakota. Ate lunch outside the badlands. It was a very tireing ride as I was fighting a very strong cross wind the whole way to Sioux Falls.

Here I am the last morning before I hit the road


I stopped in Mitchell, SD to see the Corn Palace...


While in Mitchell I ran across another car wash. This time it was for a girls volleyball fundraiser. It was nice to have a clean bike for the final push home. At Sioux Falls I deceided to cut up to Renville, MN to visit my mother on the way home. Well as everytime I am at moms I really relax, get tired and fall asleep so deceided to spend the night. The next day was only a 112miles home.

The final total was 5017 in 12 days.
