The town of Huron was the half-way mark for the ride. Dad got a picture of himself by a street sign in that town. The street is called "Midway." Kathy told me what mile marker it was but I can't remember...either way, it was very exciting.
They said they have definitely seen the "amber waves of grain!" South Dakota has had some long riding days but they are enjoying themselves immensely!

Who is Uncle Bud?
Uncle Bud was Bruce's oldest brother and Kathy's Dad. He and Bruce had planned to do this ride together when Uncle Bud retired. Unfortunately Uncle Bud passed away in March of 2003. Bruce and Bud began biking together when Bruce was in his mid 40s and Bud was in his mid 50s. (They were both over the hill and so decided to climb some more.) Kathy and Bruce have been training since the beginning of the year for this memorable occasion in memory of Kathy's Dad. Go Team Uncle Bud!

FYI
Beth and Dad (aka Bruce) are the writers for this blog (with others contributing whether they know it or not). We will update as often as possible but Dad is finding that he doesn't always have internet capabilities. Some items/text added may be by word of mouth so the accuracy might be questionable...but even when it's straight from the horse's mouth it's questionable.*grin Dad may just email events and pictures and Beth will post or Beth will just make up stuff to write and have Joe draw the pictures. Either way...ENJOY!

We meet with Troy and Beth on Wed nights and were told about your adventure. We'll follow from the comfort of our armchairs. Go gettem and best wishes,

It will get a little hotter and more humid as you ride eastward. This is the time for sweltering midwestern days! Of course, you are tough as nails by now so it probably won't bother you!
Roger
We're heading west to get out of this "please take the lid off" weather!
Sorry to miss you this time around, but know you're having the time of your life!
Gerry Burgess
We haven't forgotten you. We are following your progress and cheering you on. Go Bruce!!

Hi Bruce, Hi Kathy!
(Kathy - you know me from WSU AND through Wandlers)
I'm glad that you guys are able to do this bike ride, but Bruce, I can't believe that you weren't able to talk them into riding through scenic North Dakota!
I look forward to the pictures and the tales!
Will miss you at convention.
Its August... where's Waldo ?
