Snake Alley from below
cat 4 over 50 climbing
women cat 4 climbing at top
looking down from the top- tiny dots on the street waaay below are riders on the pre climb
I knew I left my bike somewhere!
sigh... no more apple fritters at the Mill Bakery in Nauvoo Il. but we had a good cup of coffee. Most of the riding today was pretty flat through square mile big cornfields, with four way stops every 1000 feet. Think of the opening of Superman or Field of Dreams and you will get the picture. Crossed back into Iowa to get to the hotel which as is typical on the Iowas side, had a steep climb up from main street to the top of the bluff and the suburb sections of the city. Nice town, but the big excitement is that the Snake Alley Criterium is being held here tomorrow so there are lots of very expensive bikes rolling in. Just saw two of the guests, a 14 year old cat three rider and another young lad in team kit roll their finger weight bikes out to do an evening training ride.
We will all go in on the van tomorrow morning to see the sites and some of the races. Got my laundry done this afternoon so I'm good to go. whoo hoo
54 miles
