We had a super nice tail wind today, about 15mph for nearly 50 miles. It did make the day much easier, but we also had about 3,000 ft of climbs and the temp reached over 90 degrees which offset a bit of that goodness.
Jake and I are both still feeling the effects of our colds, so the tailwind was definitely a welcome. Also, we had been planning to camp at Monona which would be about 58 miles day. However, the forecast was rain tonight, so we pushed on to a hotel in Marquette - exactly where we meet back up with the Mississippi River.
The weather is constantly changing around here. Our plan is to pedal 60 miles tomorrow which will put us in La Crosse, WI where we will take a rest day. However, it now looks like we may face a headwind. If this is the case, we will definitely cut the day short and break up the trip to La Crosse into 2 days.
You guys are troopers. Stay strong. What are we supposed to see?
ReplyDeleteEagle soaring. It was scavenging road kill just prior and I had tried to get a picture of it then... but I scared it before I was able to snap it. The bird was huge.
