W are in Melrose, MN and should be home Sunday afternoon! After our layover day in Cooperstown, ND due to storms, we rode 92 miles with an awesome tailwind into Fargo. We reunited with the rest of our group and stayed at the Scandia Hotel there. The next day we crossed the Red River into MN. Unfortunately, there was no "Welcome to Minnesota" sign. The other unfortunate thing was the condition of MN roads...very bumpy with expansion cracks, poor shoulders and lots of truck traffic. We made it to Pelican Rapids for lunch and at my suggestion decided to drop down to Fergus Falls for the night. Today we rode the Central Lakes/Lake Woebegon bike trail to Melrose: 80 miles with no traffic and smooth surfaces! It was heavenly, except for the high heat in the afternoon. Tomorrow we may get to Monticello and then home on Sunday.
Doug plans to continue on with the group to Bar Harbor Maine. He will have one rest day at home and then off on his single bike. He's looking forward to it. The tandem can be a beast to handle!
See you soon!
Love,
Therese and Doug
