Hey Everybody,
Today was 40 miles from Cooperstown to Page in North Dakota. It was into the wind for about half the way but I managed an average speed of 14.6 over 2 hours 45 minutes of riding time.
I rode alone today, and was refreshed by the solitude and relaxed pace of the day. A good time to pray, sing & think as I covered the miles of beautiful country scenery.
Our church host was Page United Methodist, assisted by Page Lutheran Church and I stayed in the home of Kim & Julie, along with Johnnie & Fiona Young, a lone riding couple from England (he's from Ireland, living in England).
Bob Wise, you would be interested to know that Kim (now retired) worked for BNSF Railroad for 25 years in track maintenance. Many of the towns we ride through were established by and for railroad companies. We have ridden by hundreds of miles of tracks and seen dozens of freight trains along our path thus far.
Page, ND is a town of less than 200 people. It has two churches, shares a school system with nearby Hope and also boasts a movie theater. The movie schedule is 7:30pm on Friday and Saturday nights.
We enjoyed sharing with Kim & Julie and all the people who joined us for a delicious meal that Friday night.
Bye,
Dan
