 Route 14 with adulating hills and lots of wind.

 Craig's group was just headed down the hill and on down the road

 Lon!  Get down from there!!  He was checking on the gear

 Carl coming up the climb and needing some water - STAT!!

 Another group of riders cresting the hill and headed into lunch

My fabulous lunch!  Grilled cheese, bean salad, thai rice noodle salad, cucumbers, pickles and salt and vinegar chips!  YUM-O!  Thanks to the Lunch Crew - they ROCK!!!

 This is for Greg from the NTC 2010 - he and I rode this merry go round - it's a little rustier and a lot dirtier - but i got it going and hopped on!!

 Entering South Dakota!!!!

 Another f!ing climb in the wind!  That's Craig ahead of me.

 Coming into Custer, SD - Finally!!  It was such a long day for all of us that the PAC Crew washed our bikes for us so we could get our bags to our rooms - so cool!

Little treat while we showered and got our stuff together for the next daya

 The wall decor at the place we ate at...hmmmmmm
