July 17 2009 - Griswold - Wintereset


A beautiful day in the state of Iowa!


We left Griswold this morning around 7 am and everyone completed the 65 mile trip by 11:30 a.m, which is extremely fast. Most of the teams were averaging around 20 mph thanks in large part to the tailwind for the last 20 miles of the trip. When we arrived, I was able to do some miscellaneous items such as washing clothes and seeing John Wayne’s birthplace.


Afterwards we headed back to lodging for some walking tacos. For those of you who don’t know, a walking taco is a Doritos bag with the top cut off filled with ground beef, cheese, lettuce, salsa, and Doritos. The meal was fantastic and afterwards we laid down for a much needed nap!

After napping for a few hours we went to the local Lutheran Church for a sponsored dinner from the Winterset Rotary club. The meal consisted of lasagna, garlic bread, and salad and was a nice change of pace from the regular barbeque. The last bit of the evening was spent catching up on blogs and bicycle maintenance. Tomorrow we head to Des Moines, which is 1 day closer to Marshalltown and seeing my beautiful Fiancee Ali:)
