Monday, July 14, 2008 – Day 22

Start: Kadoka, South Dakota
End: Pierre, South Dakota
Miles:95.64 Total Miles: 1,636.59 BRAA Total Miles: 1,537.10
Time: 6 hours 12 minute (avg 15.2 MPH)
Flat tire count today: 0 Total flat tires for the ride: 6

Today was real boring. A long ride with no scenery. Just long straight roads with what they called long rolling hills. They were long and they were rolling. Up and down…up and down. Here is a picture of what we were looking at all day long.



At the end of the ride today, we reached the Missouri River. Other than that, the day was uneventful. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a little more exciting.

Be glad you're not doing the Race Across America: "It is the yearly bike race from the west coast to the east coast. To actually complete the race, the riders need to do it in 12 days!...The race is over 3,000 miles long, with a checkpoint every 60 miles...Those who compete in it must cycle 250-300 miles a day, leaving them only about 4 hours a night to sleep. The athletes who actually win the race sleep about 90 minutes in 24 hours for the solid 10-12 days that it takes them."
