Day 21 – Minot, DK (Friday May 22, 2015)
Three weeks on the road!
I left Bowbells about 8am and arrived in Kenmare at 10:30am to have my breakfast staple; two orders of french toast and hash browns.
My direction was mostly south and again I ended up facing a strong head wind. I was disappointed with my progress.
I aimed to have lunch in Minot but I didn’t arrive in Minot until 2:30pm. By then I was desperate for something to eat and ended up at a Burger King while I got my bearings. I needed something at the bike shop and dropped in at Val’s Cycles to pick up a new chain.
I’m disappointed I will be staying in a hotel. Ann told me to ask around for a place to pitch a tent. I think there is quite a low likelihood of finding a campground in the middle of an urban area but I guess it’s worth a try. She also scolded me for being such a whimp and not going 24 km further. She was right on both counts. I need a firm itinerary now I’ve left my original intended course.
did i really say i thot you should go farther? my memory is murky but i thot i was just telling you wht the options were if you did want to go farther. aw ted i dont want to push you to do more than you want to. youre working hard already with this nasty wind. youre doing GREAT.
