We started our ride this morning on a great bike path that circles the entire city of Sioux Falls, think of it as the Washington DC Capital Beltway of bike paths, it ties together a bunch of city parks and makes for a very enjoyable ride. When you have seen three hundred corn fields this month, do you really need or want to stop and take a picture. Not me. I did get some good pictures of the Falls at Sioux Falls, at one time there was a large mill located there. We entered the state of Minnesota at about the twenty five mile mark this morning. We passed through several farm communities like Brandon, Luverne and Adrian before we arrived in Worthington. Our arrival must be a big deal in Worthington, because the Super 8 Hotel gave us all gift bags and had fruit, yogurt and drinks waiting for us in the lobby, and the President of the Chamber of Commerce welcomed me to Worthington after seeing a small group of us at Bennlee's Cafe for lunch (no "Key to the City" though). On the way back to the Super 8, we rode by Lake Okabena, a stiff wind was blowing across the lake, I can see why they have held several International Wind Surfing competitions there. Dinner was at the Ground Round and I had Chicken and Broccoli Fettucini with a Caesar Salad and Garlic Bread. Another 100+ mile day coming up on Tuesday, so its in bed early tonight with an early wake up call.
