We made it!

(Susan again)

We left Long Prairie when what looked like a potential break in the front opened up, around 2:30. We made it nine miles before the break-that-was-not-a-break hit, right as we arrived at a conveniently located dairy farm. We waited out the torrential downpour and epic lightning in their equipment shed, chatted with the farmers, and petted Sparky the dog.

After we set out again we were mostly in the clear, though we did bike through some solid rain. We’re in Parker’s Prairie now, about to check out the take-away pizzas at the liquor store, which the motel lady strongly hinted was our best dinner option in town.
