Very good day, after dodging a major storm this afternoon and tornado warnings from the town I had left this morning! I am in Holdingford, MN. Famous for it's group of women who pooled their money and hit the megamillion jackpot. You might remember that. It was huge national news. Also today I stopped along the ride at a one man museum called Memoryville. Far too much to tell here but an absolutely amazing place and man. I have included some pics that won't begin to explain it. I rode the entire day on a bike trail that is amazing. Over a hundred miles. Today I rode 71 miles on it and yesterday 52. Flatter than a pancake! I am camping in the super nice city park of Holdingford! Great day! Bill, Collen, Bina, and Mrs West. I apprecaiote all the nice things you said and the encouragement. Little one, keep checking my blog and you will know the day and hour I will be home! Thanks for all the nice things you said! I miss everyone!

    Randy,

    Did you realize the Tour De France is in stage 11 and you have tripled that by now? I believe you are on stage 32 or 33. "Unbelievable!" As you are riding on your "Tour of the USA" keep thinking that you will soon conclude your trip in the grand city of Parkersburg, also known as the runner-up city in the " Title Town USA " contest a few years ago.
    Have a great day today and keep your eye on the,"STEEPLE!"

    Randy,

    I hope all is going well for you. Tomorrow, I will be working a concession stand at a baseball tournament for Relay For Life. Don't worry I will save you some good, old, hot dogs and nachos and cheese. I will also be sure to save you some cotton candy and a candy apple from the West Virginia State Fair. The fair ends on Saturday. You certainly have the wonderful opportunity to consume zillions of calories with all of the zillions of miles you have ridden.
    I just checked the forecast in Minnesota and I suggest you buckle your helmet's chin strap. I heard there is a good possibility of strong winds and HAIL! Be careful and be SAFE.
    The British Open is in its second round
    and the golfers who plan on finishing with a good score need to keep their eyes on the ball. Likewise, I know you continue to focus on your goal and are keeping your eyes on the
    Steeple. In fact, if you really focus you can begin to see the white tip of the steeple
    of your new Church of Christ in Mineral Wells.
    Keep up the fantastic work!
