Day 28: Rochester round 2
Today the team rode 83 miles from La Crosse, Wisconsin to Rochester, Minnesota. The day started off easy and we had lunch at Culver’s! Coincidently there was buy one get one shakes so the whole team pretty much got one! After lunch we had lots of slow and steady climbing that stretched about 10 miles. They are longest climbs we have done yet, but surprisingly they were not as bad as we anticipated and the downhills motivated the speedsters to reach new velocities on the downhills. Mid afternoon it’s got extremely warm and the crosswind picked up. So much so that many of us felt like we were going to be blown off our bikes!I would like to thank Zumbro Lutheran Church for hosting us tonight. The ride dedication for the day was for Alex’s baby cousin who passed away from a heart related disease on the first day of the ride.Tomorrow is our rest day where we will be going to the Hope Lodge, exploring Rochester and getting lots of rest!~Tailwinds~MandyFlat count: 1Song of the day: Do you like Pina Coladas?Memorable moments: Culver’s, because a hefty amount of memorable moments on I4K revolve around food
