Ride distance: 50 miles; ride time: 3:06; cumulative distance: 1794 miles; average speed: 16.1 mph; calories: 3051; ascent: 1326 feet; descent: 919 feet. Today was a fun day. We had a short ride of just 50 miles. The wind wasn't too bad although we did have some headwinds today. We left Fargo around 8:30 this morning after some good devotions by Dennis, the Youth for Christ Director in Fargo. He reminded us that it's not about making the
4,300 miles that's most important but what Christ has for us each day and the impact we're able to make on the people we come in contact with. We arrived in Pelican Rapids around lunch time and had our favorite lunch of wraps (made with large flour tortillas, roast beef, cheese, chopped tomatoes, ranch dressing and salsa). The lunch today was provided by an anonymous donor. We were grateful for it. After lunch, some of went swimming at the community pool located immediately adjacent to our host church in Pelican Rapids. The park we ate lunch at was right next to the church as well. Some of us also took short walks around Pelican Rapids. They have a beautiful walking bridge over the river and a 20 foot pelican statue in honor of the white pelican for which the town gets its name. At 6:30, we had dinner with the host church which is a Lutheran church. I'm staying tonight with the pastor of the church. Right now, everyone in the house is gone except a cute Sheltie dog named Oscar and a very gentle cat named Max. I made sure I petted them while their masters were away.

So did you give Oscar and Max equal amounts of attention? Glad you're having fun!
Hi Kristin: You'll be glad to know that I actually gave more attention to Max, the cat, who was quite content to get his face rubbed.
