Big Ride - Day 21 - Rapid City, SD to Kadoka, SD

Slower morning enjoying the tailwind was then changed by joining a huge pace line. In total we ended up having 18 or so people. Props go out to Simon for leading a big 3 mile pull.

Rolled into the town of Interior, just before the Badlands. Catie had to pee and asked some kids mowing a lawn if she could use their bathroom. Their mom screamed at them to not let strangers in. It was pretty funny to watch.

Rolled through the Badlands. Ate lunch at the Diner, which was nice enough to reserve 3 tables for us as we biked through the area. Left the badlands and stopped for random pictures of a huge Prairie dog statue and some ice cream.

Finished up with random water gun fights at camp.

Dinner was at "the restaurant" in town... we call it this because it is the only restaurant in town. Great fried chicken, roast beef, and baked potatoes. Had a sundae for desert and then hit up the playground near camp. It's becoming a tradition to go on swings and slides whenever possible.

Now it's time for an early bed time as I only got 4 hours of sleep last night in Rapid City (stayed up too late trying to blog and do laundry).
