Coming off of a break day yesterday, we had a beautiful 50 mile ride this morning that got us into Circle, where we’re staying tonight, around 10 o’clock this morning. Despite the short and easy ride, 1 mile before the campsite my dad had a flat tire which, after a couple popped tubes, we realized was caused by a crack in the aluminum frame of his back tire’s rim. He rode the mile to camp, but it was quickly decided that he needed to go to a bike shop to get a new rim.

The closest one that is open on Sunday is about a hundred miles away in Medora, and our host from the break day in Glendive generously offered to drive him. They solved the problem and, at the time I’m writing this, they are on the way back to Circle. Other than that, we all slept and watched Netflix the whole day. We went at our own pace to the gas station for dinner and we’re going to head to bed early tonight. Referencing my last post, the mosquitoes definitely got smaller and less abundant. So, thanks North Dakota.
