I am proud of myself for 2 reasons today. Not only have I ridden across Iowa for the 5th time, I actually kept the blog going along the whole time. Of course, life on team cuisine makes that all possible.
Saturday was the final day and it was going to be an easy one. 50 miles, not many hills and a totally numb rear end, what could go wrong? Actually, nothing. It was perfect, again. Today started out with Tom Shea (a long time friend that I can't believe I am mentioning on this trip for the first time just now. Sorry Tom and Erin.) and I racing through the first miles of the day. With perfect weather and just a few easy to take hills we were moving pretty good. After losing Tom (I need to up my game, sir) I still plowed through the towns with Christine and Art (again, need to up my game) with little stopping knowing that getting off our bikes was in our future.
We arrived at the meeting point with the bus a little later than I had hoped but as it turns out I'm a better plan C or D. Finally, after a quick change and packing of the gear on the truck/bus and lunch we were on the way home. Despite the 3 hours of sitting we were all just glad that it wasn't on a bike seat any more.
