Your close reading is great. Want to be a beta reader when I get my book ready? I meant the road leading east sometimes shifted south, so that an east wind would blow at an angle, not full in the face. Then it would bend north again. We wondered why it shifted, since the prevailing direction was due east. (JKM)

The road to the future leads past and through the present, incorporates our shared environmental basis, and points to the possibility of co-existence with other organisms on our planet. (JSW)

Perhaps too much zoom in.

Surely a comment that links the trees, utility pole, and wind turbine is in order here? Perhaps with a nod to the road that heads into the background?

Need some philosophic commentary to accompany the photo captions!

What is "chip seal"?

A guy at the bike shop in Grand Forks told us about some professional athlete who trained in ND because of the wind. Meeting that challenge gave him the edge over his competitors. So it has its advantages.

What will Scott and I do for an encore? Yes, we are getting stronger, the challenge is maintaining.

No, that’s an opportunity missed. Should have got a photo of us by the sign breaking the rules.

Sounds like torture a lot of the time. You are going to be sooooooo fit! What is your destination and how will you get back home? Still, it is very exciting!

N Dakota is desolate by car...i can't imagine biking it. I've driven through more than once wondering when I would see signs of life. Your determination is inspiring. You GO, girl! ;)
