"A Less Than Pleasant Ride"

We're in Fontenelle, IA currently - six miles from the overnight stop (Greenfield). Current conditions: WET. I'd say today is not the best day I've had on a bike, but it's not the worst either.

We got started under heavy, gray skies around 7am. I kept waiting for the rain, but a few hours in it looked like we might get lucky and see it blow over. No luck. By the time we got to Corning (the half-way town) and got out of the United Methodist Church's basement, it had started to sprinkle. We did get lucky and got some of the last pie available there (in addition to a heavy plate of mashed potatoes and pasta).

We're ready to get these last few miles out of the way and set up our tent before it gets too wet tonight. Fingers crossed for a dry day tomorrow.
