Minnesota (Aug 28)

After a lot of work getting ready , it looks like Anne and the crew survived the storm ok. Some uprooted trees, a leaky barn and no power, but other than that everything seems intact. I was ready to head back from Minneapolis but it looks like won't have to now. So on I ride.

A lot of peddling today but not as much progress as I had hoped for. I rode into the town of Furgus Falls (which is actually quite large) on Rt 52 expecting to ride right through but after two or three hours I discovered that Rt 52 doesn't continue on to Minneapolis as I was told but combines with an interstate. Anyway, I ate something, got my bearings and headed back out. Right now I'm about 80+ miles NNW of Minneapolis. I should be there tomorrow and I'm debating whether to go through it or around it. The weather has still been good but the temps are much cooler.

Miles today: 102
Trip miles: 1776

    Hey joe,
    I'm glad to see your ride didn't get interrupted by the storm! How do you physically feel after weeks of riding? Those are some seriously impressive numbers you have been putting up day after day! Hope the Rust Belt treats you well.
