Its 3:45 and I’ve already had a shower and started the first load of laundry at the Super 8. Five of us in one room only $16.50 each. We got free coupons for bowling so we’ll be headed there in an hour. Diane is staying with a friend in Tiskilwa for the night. That means that tomorrow we get to ride the from LaSalle to Morris about 30 miles along the I&M Canal Tow Road. A crushed gravel path that allowed horses to pull barges along the canal back in the day. It should be a great day but rain is suppose to hit this evening and last thru tomorrow morning.
Today was fun. The first 35 miles in rolling farmland hills. We went through a wind farm. We saw damaged trees near Bureau Junction caused by the storm that happened the last night of RAGBRAI. We ate lunch at a dreadful café and DePue not very eventful day. For dinner we ate nachos and pizza at the bowling alley then rolled a game. I won by 1 point with what would be considered a fairly good golf score.
