The Morning was as gorgeous as they come! Fresh morning air and fresh legs. We started a little late due to a little detour on our way to the start but we managed to be on the road by 8:30am. Today we all were able to ride Thanks to Jan as she was our support for the day. Eric VanDenBerg rode with us today also.
We road for about 30 miles into Bemidji then met some family friends for a visit. Jan and Deb were there with lunch so we refueled and were on our way again. We rode for another 40 miles and decided we needed to catch the big one. That was a big cold drink! We were ready for some cold beverages and low and behold around the corner comes Jan and Deb again with refreshments.
We stopped at a Resort for a tour by Terry as he worked there as a young boy. Lodge was still standing with huge log beams spanning the inside.
We had an 87 mile day and finished around 4:00 at the Gosh Dam Bar where we met more friends for a cold beverage.
The perfect ending to a great first day was dinner at the VanDenBerg Estate where she prepared an incredible meal of boiled shrimp, corn on the cob, sausage, potatoes and barbeque ribs. Then topped off with desert of a brownie topped with homemade peanut butter ice cream. We are all like stuffed little piggies.
Well we are fading flowers and ready to be tucked into bed at the Fox cabin where the accommodations are top notch.
Hope to be back on the road on the morning.
Julie, Dave & Terry
