We made it into Des Moines today after a nice short ride!
The ride was rolling hills like the rest of the days in Iowa but today we were fortunate enough to have a nice tailwind. Ross, one of our crew members, rode along today for the ride which was extremely exciting. He had never been on a road bike before and he was cycling along fine until mile 30, when he started getting really exhausted. He then needed to stop every 1 mile to take a break. It made his day very long, but we were all very proud of him when he finished the ride.
Our lodging was at an Easter Seals Camp a few miles outside of Des Moines. Once we showered and had dinner at the camp, we spent the rest of the evening relaxing and cleaning off our bikes. I am going to head to bed early today because tomorrow is a big day! We are going to make our way to Marshalltown, Iowa and I will finally be able to see my wonderful fiancée Ali!
