Day 28, Prairie du Chien, WI - 45 miles



It was only a 45 mile day but the wind continues.  It wasn't as bad as yesterday but coupled with the hills, it was a tough day.  Speaking of hills... only three of note but they got up to an 11% grade (which is rather steep) and seemed to go on forever.  Oh, and it was cold, but not too bad with a high of 63 or so.  Just a little unexpected.

Tomorrow is a 94 mile day but 25 of that is on a bike path.  It's a crushed limestone path, which has some people worried but I bike those all the time at home so I know they are fine.  I've also made some route adjustments which should make the route significantly safer that what the tour company proposed.
