I was looking forward to my ride north from Montevideo to Wheaton as the weatherman was predicting 20 to 30 knot winds with higher gusts from the south. The weather forecast also helped with making up mind on which direction to go as I was opting to head west. It was a great day of riding despite the tornadoes that set down on parts of Minnesota. I sailed along most of the way hearing the wind howl in the cross wires as I passed through intersections and the shadows of the clouds passing me from above. I could maintain 20 to 30 MPH at times with little effort.It was hard to stop riding today wanting to take advantage of these easy miles that don't come around very often.

Luckily I missed this! A new friend I met in Fargo a couple of days later showed me this picture his brother had taken the same day only in the northern part of the state.
