Today had a few surprises. First - cooler temps and low humidity - yipee! Second, what we thought was only going to be 1690 feet of climbing, turned out to be 3700+ feet of climbing. Third we hit construction twice - one with a big detour (7 miles with lots of rollers), the other with a lot of traffic. So, with the detour, we ended up with a 96 mile day instead of an 89 mile day.
I finally took a picture of Minnesota - I was walking up the last really big hill of the day and took a shot.
We did cross in to Wisconsin at the very end of the ride - rode over the Mississippi River and everything!
I'm too tired to post photos today - have to get to bed for a 92 mile day to Wisconsin Dells tomorrow. Nothing like 4 century rides in a row to keep you young! [Update - 7/21/07 - photos posted.]

I wore the Team Jean shirt today so you should have had a GREAT day. Glad to hear the weather is a little more user-friendly. Keep that "smile on your face" and the "song in your heart". We'll miss you at the play tomorrow! Love - M & S

Jean: Keep a truck'in - I agree with you, humidity is not my friend either. Glad that today was not as bad.
