Another beautiful day, riding through Alpine terrain, made friends with Dana McKnight at a diner in Hill City. Like me, he had ridden most way across the country last year and had gotten sick, so he was back to finish his ride. He was a stronger rider than I am, so he set a fast pace, which got me to Custer earlier than I expected :-)
Started off at 7:30am:
Beautiful countryside...

Stats: 28 miles, started at 7:30am, ended at 12:30pm, 4 hours of actual riding:

Friends are always the best things happening along any journey.
Too cool that you guys met up and that he was finishing a ride across the country too! I wonder how your routes compared. Glad there was a good lunch spot
