Another 100-Mile Day

Monte made it yesterday to Lake Mills, IA - just short of his Clear Lake goal. This map gives you an idea of how far he rode. Obviously, he didn't take a straight shot down 35 like the map shows, but you get a feel for the distance.

He was extremely cold in his tent last night and apparently did not sleep well. He put on every piece of clothing he had to stay warm! Today is another 100+ mile day - his goal is to make it to Ames. I believe he will be staying in his old fraternity there, but I'm not sure. 

Justin and his boxed-up bike are on a bus right now down to Des Moines - he and Monte will meet up tomorrow.

I am not sure what is more exciting to follow. Le Tour de France or Le Tour de Dirks?
