Rode out of Rapid City and said goodbye to Sturgis. On Rt 34 West, we stopped for lunch in a little crossroads called Aladdin. In a tiny cafe we enjoyed the best hamburgers ever, and made the acquaintance of two memorable people. First is Ryan Prizio, a man who is riding a bicycle from coast to coast, and blogging the trip at www.ryanprizio.com. An impressive effort. My longest bicycle ride, back in the late '60s, was ~700 miles from NY to Cincinnati. I know what it's like, and wish him the best of luck on his journey.
The next guy was a biker named Marvin, who, over lunch, told more jokes per minute than anyone I've ever met. He's a member of the Christian Motorcyclists Association, and is spreading the word wherever he rides. Great to meet you Marvin!
