We pedaled to Dyersville, Iowa for lunch. Nice having Patty and John’s wife Mary Ann along with us. We finished lunch and they took off in the rented car to find a camp site for tonight. We heard from the owner of the Resturant that big rain was coming tonight so we called the ladies and said, let’s find a cheap motel instead so we don’t have to camp in the rain. They were very much in favor of that. We left Dyersville and pedeled 20 miles to Farley and found the road we needed to go on was under major construction and closed. We asked around and found out that the only way to get where we wanted to go was go back to Dyersville and take a different road. The ladies called and said that they could find no camp sites, or motels any where near where we wanted to be and the only place that had anything was Dyersville. OK, back to Dyersville. We were planning on 88 miles today, but only ended up with 60 that counted. Oh well, tomorrow is another day. Looks like we will be riding in the rain tomorrow, but the hills look like they will be much smaller from the profile of the route on my iPad, and wind is minimal. The goal is 90 miles tomorrow as we try to reach Muscatine, Iowa. We have been heading South following the Mississippi River, but when we get to Muscatine we head straight East into Illinois. Flat maybe??? We can only hope 🙂 love you all. Dee
