Manchester, IA to Dubuque, IA

Woke up at 5:30, bike shoes and socks still wet from yesterday’s rain. Wore my sandals and biked the last day with Chloe on the Pino.  Was not able to make it up Potter hill because we did not have access to the two largest gears on the back set (18.5 per cent grade requires all gears working ).
Did 46 mph down hill and that was with breaks applied to not run into people.
Stopped at the farm where Field of Dream’s was filmed.
Dipped the front tire in the river, packed the truck, had a couple of beers and a sandwitch and started the 5 hour trip back to home.  I started to drive and then Jacob took over driving.
