65/1557/2807 Will update the mileage logs with the maps sometime around Fargo when we are in a motel with good Internet so I can check some distances online. Think that the 2go figure is too large, have to splice some distances from different maps and check them online. Little BIG project that you don't always feel like doing after a long ride...Last nights was a good nights sleep and had a good continental breakfast at the Days Inn. They had the waffle irons so had a good waffle and the newspaper. Spoke with Tom Z and he and John are doing good, they are about 500 miles behind us now if my Math is correct. Robert King made it home to Arizona ok on the bus, his bronchitis getting the better of him. He'll have to finish on his Harley next year. I ride out on Rte 2 and after 10 miles come upon two touring ladies. They are from Seattle and are on their way to Portland. One is older so this may be a mother daughter team, but I don't ask.....we're both headed to Rugby for the night. They claim to have done one 100 mile day with a tailwind, once in a lifetime ride! We get to Rugby around noon and have lunch at the Geographical center of North America cafe. Great lunch for the money and the locals are very colorful and politically vocal. Conservative country with an opinion about everything. NO MOTELS due to construction workers, so we get into an RV park with CONSTRUCTION workers in their rv's and lots of Motor Bikers. Have a long chat with Bob from Colorado who is here on his Gold Wing and pop up trailer. He grew up here many a year ago and says that the town is divided between Catholics and Protestants, a regular Ireland with the Catholics in the bullying majority. They even control the majority of the town cemetery! We get some internet wifi but the digital tv gets no signal so I can't update blogs. Since it is Friday, the construction workers leave for the local bar and come home loudly throughout the night, so we get poor sleep tonight. Supposed to be cool again tonight.
