Day 13 - 270 km

The longest leg of the entire trip. 270 km, mostly flat in the beginning, hilly towards the end, with decent roads so that we could let it roll. Again, we left the campground early and had already eaten up 100 km at the coffee stop at 9:30. Crossing the border to South Dakota, we came into the area of Grand River with steeper hills and nice downhills. Crossing the Missouri River was quite significant; plus we again entered another time zone - central time - which is now 7 hours of difference from home. I came to the campground after 8 hours of riding with an average speed of 34,4 km/h. Very nice scenery and a beautiful lake in the sunset.
