Remember the pictures I had of the Tour de Kota overnight camping stop in Madison? Well, if not, it is a six day, 430 long bike ride through the countryside of South Dakota. This years Tour de Kota stayed mainly in South Eastern South Dakota. The girls and I participated with our American Heritage Girls Troop in a fundraiser at a comfort station along Thursday's route. The tour sets up a porta potty and then groups apply to set up a food/drink table. We brought peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, homemade goodies, water and lemonade. The riders stopped to use the facilities and get some energy for their remaining 13 miles of the day. It was cool and overcast with a few downpours. We were just packing up when the skies opened again and brought forth thunder and lightening as well. We enjoyed meeting the riders, one of whom had recently had a knee replacement! and another who had lost a young friend and was riding in his memory.
