Day 19, Poplar, MT to Williston, North Dakota



Ride distance: 78 miles; ride time: 3:38; average speed: 21.6 mph; calories: 5407; ascent: 1941 feet. This was a day that all of us appreciated. We had the wind at our backs all day and were able to make good time. It was a welcome change from the headwinds we’ve had earlier in the week. Zack, Paul Bayfield, Arek and I were the first to arrive in Williston. We found the church which was being used for a wedding reception of a couple that got married in Jamaica earlier in the year. They invited the four of us to their reception so in we went, riding jerseys and all. We felt like wedding crashers. We even got our pictures taken with the bride and groom. It was fun. For dinner, we had pizzas that our host church, First Lutheran, provided. Zack and I are staying at the home of Francis and her son, Dean, We’ll be here until Monday morning when we leave for Stanley, North Dakota.
