A very nice day

We bicycled 84 miles today and were on the road 10 hours, and it was a great day. The weather was perfect, sunny with big, white, puffy clouds, and the temperature was around 75 most of the day. We had a tail wind of about 5 mph most of the day and that was very,very nice. There were no mosquito’s harassing us at all, a totally bug free day, except for bazillions of grasshoppers but they haven’t bitten me yet. There were no hills just a few small ones that were no problem peddling up. We got to bike the first 40 miles on the Wobegon bicycle trail which is so relaxing with no traffic to worry about. The second 40 miles was on rural farm roads with very little traffic, and the cars that we did see went way around us, and waved and gave us thumbs up . We road by lots of dairies and the sweet aroma of the cow manure gave me a nice warm feeling inside as it prompted lots of memories of growing up on the farm. We talked to lots of very friendly people who were very interested in our trip and asked lots of questions. Yep, nice day. Tomorrow we are scheduled to ride 70 miles to St Croix, Wisconsin and stay with a “Warm Shower” host couple.

tomorrow after 38 miles of riding we will be at 2000 miles and I will dance and sing. Look for it. Love you all. Dee

    Dee, I wonder if the fresh smell of cow manure was not the smell coming off your jersey! Did you wash it? Looking forward to seeing your song and dance, you can simply send us the video without the sound cause we don’t want to hear you singing! Good job and keep on spinning those wheels.
