Overcast today...a bit cooler, but we5 had headwinds for a long stretch. I got in at 1230, and hung out st the pool for a couple of hours.
One more root beer float... I'm five for five days.
Things I've seen on the road: one unicycle, two penny farthing bicycles, one skateboarder doing the whole 456 miles, one tandem bike decked out as a cow, a dual recumbant made into a giant banana, multiple cyclists dressed as chickens pigs mules rabbits skunks chickens and ballerinas (of both sexes), two tiaras (one representing pork farmers, the other was 89 and put a tattoo on my arm at Weirick Drugs in Colfax).
Grinnell is a nice town. Had chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and cream gravy for dinner (I'm so off my diet). Had the first good beer at the official beverage garden, a local IPA, met the brewmaster. A local pipe band played, way cool.
It is cooling down tonight, I may stick around in town for a bit, but we have 70 miles tomorrow. I need an early start. Feeling good, butt not too sore yet. Still making friends...
PS this post is out of order, it did not go though last night....
