A milestone of sorts.

If blogspots data are to be believed this little blog has garnered 997 views.  Go figure.  With your help we can reach 1000!  I have no tote bags or coffee mugs to offer, however.


A century's worth of erosion
I rode the route yesterday to verify that the cue sheets will actually help you find your out and back again.  The course is extremely dry.  Fire hazard dry. I'm pretty sure the harvest has barely begun because the farmers don't want their combines to send this year's crop up in smoke.  Some rain is forecast for this coming Friday and Saturday which will actually help compact the sandy bits.  Fortunately temps are supposed to remain mild.  There will still be some sandy areas that will require dismounting and walking - unless you bring your Pugsley.
I saw my first Nebraska coyotes yesterday - two or three, including this pup.  They are much less of a threat than any farmyard dog.

Two more postcards arrived from  Sioux Falls, South Dakota's biggest city!  Maybe we'll get to 20.
