Today we arrived in Iowa! Since our last post we went off route (slightly scary) to visit Katherine Koleski's home in Rochester. We were way too busy to write a blog post from K2's (because we spent most of the day lounging in the pool). In order to get back on the route we traveled 107.5 miles in one day! We chose to go a little out of the way to go on THE BEST BIKE PATH EVER. It was 40 miles of net downhill flatness in canopy trees by the Root River. Thanks for the route advice from the cyclery in Rochester!
Unfortunately, after our triumphant century yesterday, we struggled today. Lots of hills. We're also not as psyched about Iowa so far based mostly on the south wind that we are biking against. Although we went to the Effigy Burial Mounds, a national park, which contain mounds in different shapes from a pre-tribal civilization.
Bartholemew, my bike, identified more as a woman and is now Wanda. She loves jewelry and ribbons. Wayne, Wanda and Joaquim are the current names of our bikes.

Hello ladies!! We are enjoying keeping up with your posts - thanks for the note! There is one lone bicyclist in our park tonight - terrific winds, but not torrential rains so alas, he will have to fend for himself! :) Continue safely on your journey! D & P Adrian, your ND friends.
