Rest Day in Bismark:
A good place to display this picture of our motto:

| Without ice cream there would be darkness and chaos! |
Day 29: We tried to sleep later on our rest day, but our internal clocks did not cooperate. We were all awake by 6 am. It was raining hard, and for once, we did not have to ride in it! After breakfast, the rain stopped, and we cleaned and lubricated our bikes. We then embarked on a mission to restock. Linda and Jeff had partially worn through a pair of their biking shorts (they request that any snide comments be held in check). Linda also wore out her biking gloves. We all journeyed together to a bike shop. The 3 guys had stretched-out chains that needed to be replaced. I required a new set of rear brake shoes. Everyone bought extra spokes. We visited Target, Scheels (like a Dick's Sporting Goods), a hardware store, all in close proximity. I got a haircut, as it is supposed to reach 96 degrees tomorrow. To that end, we agreed to get up about 4 am, to be packed up and ready to go at 5 am to beat the heat as much as possible. There might be some ice cream tomorrow.
Always great to wake up one of your posts. Good to know you are supporting the ice cream economy across the heartland. You all are killing it with those big mileage days & the load you're carrying. Way to go!
