Today we traveled from Gillette, WY to Mitchell, SD. About 415 miles, all on I-40 And we are now back in the Central Daylight Time Zone. So, we lost one hour.
Billy is now or will be in St. Louis. Tomorrow we stop in Fairmont, MN for the night and then head to Hannibal Missouri on Thursday.
Temperatures got to 99 degrees today. And it was not a dry heat. It was hot.
I-40 has a speed limit of 80 MPH in Wyoming and South Dakota. So, I took the opportunity to see how the bike handled at some speed. The biggest problem, slip stream, air over the bike. It can get brutal at speed.
And the difference on turns is interesting as well, and yes there were some nice sweeps on I-40.
Its mostly flat with elevations at about 1,900 Feet above sea level.
Tomorrow is a short day so it will be nice. Back to long days the day after. And no interstate on Thursday.
I am trying to upload some files to dropbox. Will provide the address later and some images of South Dakota. And they have plenty of water in Wyoming and South Dakota.
Here is a link to some videos from Bear Tooth and Big Horn
