Headed east out of town on Highway23 this morning after the usual epic breakfast. How would you like your eggs?
I had a 30mph hour tailwind for the first 57 miles which I did in about 2 hours. I hit a top speed today of 37mph thanks to the tailwinds. The roadsurface is not that great on this particular stretch so I have to keep vigilant. The first 57 miles headed east without a single bend except for one peculiar diversion around a lake of approx 1mile.
Then the fun started as I had to turn 90 degrees left onto Highway 83 to get to the town of Minot 17 miles down the road. This 17 mile stretch too longer than the first 57 as I was now riding into a strong crosswind.
Ended the day in Minot. The town of a Minot is a reasonably large town and is typically American. A 6 lane carriageway is the main 'street' with the usual array of burger joints, tyre centres (they really love them here) and cash advance services. Stayed at a Days Inn which had the luxury of an indoor pool and jacuzzi! The hotels are usually relatively cheap and are a welcome relief given that I camp most nights.

Hi Den Den! Stealing John's identity to say hi. When they ask in the morning about your eggs, turn the question around, and say "no, how would you like yours??" in a sultry voice. Good luck with trip.
