I think that both riders and staff had a relaxing day off today. Riders ate out, went to Scheels Sports Store and bought themselves new duds and bike stuff, cleaned their bikes and replaced chains, went to the last night of the Sioux Falls Jazz Festival, went to the movies, met friends, got massages and haircuts, and in general kicked back and enjoyed themselves. The staff did likewise. Mike and Barb and Karen went to the movies and saw The Interpreter; Josh ate lunch with some of the riders and then shopped in a bookstore in the large mall across the street from the motel; Sue2 saw to her bike and the water jugs, and I answered a pile of e-mail and then pedaled to a nearby Butterfly House and Outdoor Center that was very nicely presented.
Except for the hissing cockroaches, I enjoyed the ladybugs, the different tarantulas, lizards, and fish, and over 50 species of butterflies that fluttered about in the butterfly house. That evening after we welcomed our new riders, we staff went to the Olive Garden for our traditional staff dinner and analysis of the ride and our performance so far. Susan
