Day 17: Yesterday, June 30: New Salem, ND to Glendive, MT by Rental: Then Glendive to Circle, MT, 51 mile by bike:

Yesterday was an overall good day for our group. They turned the rental in and quickly got back on track. They made it to Circle and camped in a city park. After the stress of the decision and then actually fleeing all that flooding, they all sound like they are back in riders mode. As the picture and blog from Chris shows, Chuck is never far from their minds either.

They did get a good workout yesterday. The weather was hot, the ride was almost a headwind all day and it was pretty much uphill the whole way. They climbed 1000 feet in 1 day. Here is Rogers perspective: Devils Lake, ND is at 1600 ft. - Glendive, MT is at 2200 ft. - Circle, MT is at 3200 ft. Yup, a workout.

I'll leave the rest to them to post. Chris was in much need of sleep so he managed to get Day 16 done before he hit the tent. (I wonder if he ever figured out where the skeeters where getting in from?)
