Henry's notes:
Day 25: We all awoke refreshed from a good night's sleep in the giant machine shed. Because of the massive roof, it sounded like there was heavy rain falling. In reality, it was raining relatively lightly. We enjoyed a healthy, filling breakfast. We generally try to discourage Tim from drinking coffee, because it totally stokes him and then he rides like a wildman. However, we didn't have the heart to withhold Ainars' and Deb's flavorful coffee, so we let Tim have some today. Our hosts had us each pack ham sandwiches and a Naked juice bottle, then we said our goodbyes and headed out. We only had to endure 1.5 miles of gravel road leaving their farm, and we were contentedly on paved roads the rest of the day. The rain stopped after 2 hours, and the sun gradually emerged. We crossed into the northeast corner of South Dakota, state #9. There was a 6 mile climb after entering SD, made harder by a moderate headwind. Arriving at the top, the view backwards to Minnesota was quite spectacular. We ended our ride for today at Roy Lake State Park. Linda did well again, even though her symptoms aren't completely gone, and Tim really likes his new rounder wheel, as well as regaining the option of using his rear brakes.
