21 Jul - To Lake City

I'm writing this after the fact for Monday's ride. It was a pretty short ride, just 50 miles or so to Lake City, MN. The whole team was in pretty early, which gave us the opportunity to enjoy a boat ride and water skiing on Lake Pepin/Mississippi River. I'd never been water skiing before, so that was a treat for me. In addition my girlfriend was able to come visit me for the evening. After dinner we were able to share our presentation with the folks that were there.

The hosts I stayed with last night were a young couple, Amy works with a youth ministry in the town. They were a lot of fun. When I walked into the house I got shot with a marshmallow out of a blow tube. Yeah, it was a good day. Fun, relaxing. Got us ready for today's 90+ mile day.

Oh, yeah... On the way to Lake City we crossed a 9 mile long 'construction zone' where the road surface had bee torn up leaving a road almost as bad as gravel. At the end, where the pavement restarted, there was a sign to warn us of the "BUMP" They should have had a sign at the beginning that said "Bump - Next 9 Miles"! I'd uplad the picture, but I'm borrowing but I'm having trouble getting the pics to go from the computer I'm borrowing.
