Juneteenth - solidarity, a day to celebrate. We are fully embracing this day with a day off in La Crosse!
June 20
We paralleled the Mississippi river during most of the ride. The first ~25-30 miles ended up being on the 'Great State River Trail' which was really smooth with lots of scenery. The rain began to come down after about 15 miles which scared both of us due to our experience with rain on the Erie Canal trail where the trail became saturated. However, in the end, the rain was relatively minor and we had no issue.
The remainder of the ride was on paved road. With a small tail wind and fair weather, we rode 72 miles today quite easily. By the time we rolled into Pepin (small town) it was obvious that we would get caught in a heavy rain storm, so we found an inn to stay at. Being father's day, we enjoyed dinner at a small french restaurant near the river. The short clip of us on the porch of the inn is pretty funny - well timed.
Check out the picture of the fence made out of skiis. Kinda interesting because I'm pretty sure there are no hills big enough for skiing anywhere near here (maybe I'm wrong). Anyhow - interesting fence for sure!
Jake’s thinking “can I eat already?” Looks delicious. What did you have?

ReplyDeleteWith all the calories burned, food must taste extra good. That's a wonderful meal with great, old dad.
