Sunny skys with strong crosswinds
Today's trip is a relatively short jaunt to Wall, SD. Wall is a town of 930 people and its claim to fame is Wall's Drug Store. It was founded in 1931 and the simple promise of free ice water prompted enough travelers to stop there that it today is a huge entity taking up a large city block.
It was a late load starting day - Erin and I left at 8:45 - and we were going to ride the entire stage. It was already getting hot and we caught the entire wind of the day.
The countryside consisted of rolling hills and steep rollers until the first SAG. We stopped at an old Biker Hangout to refill the bottles and load up on the snacks.
After the SAG we rode through ranchland and farms until we got onto I90 for the last 25 miles. The town of Wall has one attraction and that's the Wall Drug Store.
