Pretty straight forward getting through Minneapolis, just a little bit of bike trail action to get back on Rt 55 south of town. Once I did get back on 55 it was pretty much like an interstate: two lanes each way, lots of cars and trucks and lots of noise. About 20 miles south of Minneapolis I turned east onto Rt 50 and landed in Red Wing, MN at about 5:30. It had been raining since about 1pm and of course the wind was right out of the south. I wasn't up for camping in the rain so I checked into a Super 8 and called it a day. ( I have a plan for the wind and rain though.) Minnesota is a very pretty state with 10's of square miles of rolling hills covered with corn. From here I head basically south 350 miles to Muscatine, Iowa. After that it's dead east to Connecticut.
Miles today: 85
Trip miles: 1979
P.S.
Becky, I need a favor. I know you're in tight with The Big Man and want you to use some of that mo-jo you have with Him to get this wind and rain situation straighten out. If you can swing it I need 3 days of good winds out of the north followed by 2 weeks of big, big winds out of the west. Dry roads are nice too. If you get any static remind Him that I'm already on the team since I did complete my 9 First Fridays in a row way back when at St Joe's. I'm counting on you, so don't forget.
