Ride distance: 71 miles; ride time: 4:24; average speed: 16.1; calories: 4176; total ascent: 808 feet. Our host church in Glasgow, the Evangelical Church gave us a wonderful send-off breakfast. They even had two of the latest Belgium waffle makers to make waffles for us. On our ride, we had some headwinds in the morning but were able to go a bit faster after lunch with crosswinds. We arrived at Poplar at about 3;30 p.m. and went to the home of the Associate Pastor of our host Church. Stua
rt and I went with our support couple, Dave and Darlene, to the home of our hosts, George and Roberta Budak. George and Roberta are retired farmers and have several thousand acres of property. I noted the unusual number of trees near their house and the water nearby. They explained that the Missouri River used to flow there. In fact, Lewis and Clark came through in the 1800's just a short distance from George and Roberta's house. A major flood in 1916 rerouted the Missouri River so that it now flows further south of the property. We were served a delicious dinner and then drove about 30 miles to a genuine Indian Pow Wow. It was the 50th annual Pow Wow at Fort Kipp and featured many Native American dancers and singers.
