Wow, wind is not my friend! We made it to Belfield the hard way -- in a 25-35 mph cross wind with much stronger gusts. Cal's trike actually blew over in a gust -- not too much damage -- just a scratched mirror and bent trailer hitch. We hit the 1000 mile mark today with the 59 from Bowman.
We were welcomed here at the motel with a wonderful surprise -- "a group of friends" paid for our dinner. My legs are so sore I can barely walk, so having dinner right here at the motel will be wonderful.
We rode beside North Dakora's highest point today, White Butte. I'm just glad we didn't have to go over it.
I haven't given a helpful hit lately, so here goes:

Helpful hint #7: If you know your day will involve 60 miles in a really bad cross wind, just go ahead and start on the Advil at breakfast!!
