So the day was really calm; was glad I got the tunnels done yesterday. That wasn't all flat either, the poor train must have had fun back in the day because the trail rolled along - 3 percent grades at times.

Today started out with a 3-mile trek thru farmland back to the trail and on to La Crosse, a town in western WI. That was about 20-plus miles. There I visited a bike shop for local info and to check tire pressure. Then refueled the machine with this:

Another couple I met was Victor and his wife and friend. They are Ride Across Iowa (a six-day ride across Iowa that I've done in the past). So cool to meet another fan of that ride here in WI. We exchanged memories of Iowa and biking in general. It was special to meet you all!!!
Finally, I met two ladies in a SUV
by the camp water fountain / restrooms. Monica and Rebecca offered to bring me food. Ladies that was so nice of you. Thank you for asking about my travels. I want you to know this is why I bicycle tour - kind people like you all!
Today's ride: 47 miles (76 km)
Total: 369 miles (594 km)
