Day 24
Pierre to Miller - 73 miles
Short nice day... I got up early and was on the rode before sunrise. Today was totally flat once you climbed out of the river valley and you could see forever. The sunrise was great as I was ridding directly east into it. My average speed today was 21 MPH.
As I rolled into the first rest stop I had to wake up Bill our support person at the stop. It was just a very quiet morning with birds, pheasants and deer.
Miller is the typical small (850 population) town in South Dakota. I stopped at a lemonade stand some kinds had set up and spent about an hour talking about the town and their families. They all seemed to have multiple generations of family in the area.
Today marks about the half way point of our ride, 1,621 miles. It seems like we just started........
