Jul 16 - Day 22

Jerry and Ned shuttled back to New Town, ND to begin day's ride. They rode 74 miles to Garrison, ND with a new total of 1400 miles. It was another day of not much to see. They stopped to get a closer look at a canola field. The plants definitely have a distinctive odor and produce a long skinny pod about 1/16 inch wide with seeds smaller than BBs. There are a lot of fields with blue flowers which according to the local folks is flax. The grain fields are beautiful and make you want to sing about the fields of amber waving grain. There was very little traffic after the first 10 miles and no breeze. They started their ride about 8:00 and arrived back at the cabin at 1:15, about 16 miles per hour. Ladies did the laundry, then went to a town rummage sale and picked up some bargains. We ate dinner at a local steak house, where Ned and Jerry had the best prime rib they ever ate.
