Hi everyone! Welcome to Day 24. Todays seemed to be one of those days that just seems to last forever. We had lots and lots of fun and did a lot of things. I was van driving again, so I do not have much to day about the route itself, but we have more than enough pictures for today instead.
Our second rest stop of the day was at the Devil’s Lake State Park which we spent at least 2 hours at. It was a very nice place to hang out at, and a few people from the team even rented some paddle boards. A couple of us also burned our backs to bright red (including myself), so obviously we had a lot of fun.

Just before the riders were about to leave the rest stop, Veronica found a little baby bird on the ground. We wanted to put him back in his nest but couldn’t find it :( We wish you luck, little Al-bird Einstein.

The team heard that there was a Clown Museum along our route, so most of them of course simply had to stop. After a whole quest of finding the person who could let them in and give them a tour, it seemed like the actual experience was somehow both underwhelming as well as overwhelming. Yes, I am just as confused as you are.
Admiring
After finally getting to Reedsburg, we were all incredibly excited to visit the (apparently) world-famous ButterFest. Some of our riders (Angela) proclaimed they thought of the ButterFest all day while biking. To our huge disappointment, there was no butter to be seen anywhere :( Not even one stick of butter made an appearance. So, we just had to satisfy ourselves with a picture and then promptly left the scene.
