Iowa

Today we had a nice 80 mile ride into Mt. Vernon, Iowa. It was overcast and cool (aka perfect riding weather) for most of the day aside from the 5-10 minutes it rained. The day was generally full of rolling hills just as I remembered from last year. There were also a lot of rumble strips, which I also remembered was something often found always in groups of three. After a run in with a skunk (don't worry I didn't get sprayed) and hearing some funny stories from my post lunch riding partner, Chris, I made it in by just past 1:00, took possibly the coldest showers we've had so far and headed over to a bar in town to watch the world cup. That's where I am right now and I should pay attention to the end of the game so that's all for now more to come later.
