July 15, 2008 Storm Lake, Iowa to Ft. Dodge, Iowa

Another day of cycling in paradise. After last night on lake side with the breeze, only sixty three miles today but only 637 feet of total ascent which translates into virtually flat wonderful easy riding at 20+ MPH. Back country county roads with little traffic, lots of corn and blue skies. Don't think it can get any better than this. Passed a farm with tons of old antique farm impliments in the front yard. Reminded me of home and our garage with so many bikes you can't park the car!
More windmills. More corn. More great riding!!!

There IS some flat land in Iowa after all!

A collection of antique farm implements.

Some more cool windmills.
