Step On

Weird day today. I think I will chalk it up to the start of a two week vacation.

Rode for only a couple of hours today. 20 degrees. Fairly windy but really pretty comfortable. Planning something similar tomorrow with Sam-I-Am.

Nice crew out at Yia Yia's tonight. I think we were all a little tired from the weekend. Thanks for joining me fellas.

MW is ready to plan it all out and go to Iowa tomorrow. I love his enthusiasm.

Two decisions I have made regarding TI.
1. Go out with the lead group until it stops making sense. (Last year I purposely started in the back.)
2. Not make any stops until Algona. (The halfway point.)

"2. Not make any stops until Algona. (The halfway point.)"

I tried that. I did all my planning based around that idea. I had it all figured out in terms of how much to drink and eat to make it to Algona.

One thing I forgot to figure into the equation...WIND!

That was my plan last year too. I ended up having to grab a turkey sandwich in the last town we came close too before Algona. I think I have a way around it this year without carrying too much wieght. "I think." :)
