I was blessed with a strong tailwind for the entire day, making the miles roll by much faster than yesterday. However, some strong rain in the morning and temperatures in the mid-50s meant that after the first hour I was soaked to the bone and in the beginning stages of hypothermia. It was an eery replay of my rollerski trek two days ago. However, my faithful support crew saved the day again. After putting on dry clothes, spending some time in the RV with the heat blasting, and eating the last of our leftover pizza (and a few snickers bars on the side), my outlook improved by several orders of magnitude.
I reached Pine Island in good spirits after covering 97 miles. Once there, I decided to ride the remaining 17 miles back to my house. Although the official plan called for stopping in Pine Island today, it isn't too often that I have the privelege of riding with a tailwind on a point-to-point course. Thus I decided to prolong my ride. Even though I made it to Rochester today, I will still run the 13 miles from Pine Island to Rochester tomorrow.
Finally, a big thanks to my brother Ian who biked with me for about 10 miles around Nerstrand, MN. It made a very lonely part of the ride much more bearable.
Oh your brother helped you a lot..
