Wheeeeeeeee!

Woke up this morning from the best sleep. Over ten hours. It was glorious. Packed up and headed out. The first 35 miles flew by and before we knew it we were in Long Prairie for a lunch stop. After lunch we left and the next 10 miles were AMAZING. At one point I turned to the mom and said, "sometimes when I ride my bike like this, I just go 'wheeeeeeeee.'". It was just one of those rides. The entire day flew by. The roads were up and down small hills, twisting around corners, and no traffic. Ideal for cycling. Wheeeeee! It surprises me that we never see any other cyclists.

Towards the end of the ride we saw a herd of cows and their babies. I began ringing my bell an rounding them up. We got a true stampede going. Then the cows appeared to begin disappearing. The mom and I looked at each other and wondered aloud, "where are they going?" Upon closer inspection, we saw that there was a tunnel under the road. One cow popped out the other side! Very strange.

We arrived at Charles Lindbergh State Park along the Mississippi River and set up camp. After making dinner, enjoying a campfire, and showers, we are nestled in our satchels listening to a light rain hit our tent.

Tomorrow we will be heading to Milaca and out milage will cross 2000 total miles.
