Day 5 Preview

Quick update on Day 3...just got word Lance Armstrong is riding Day 3. What a wimp...one of the shortest days. Oh well, I guess he doesn't have much else left to prove...

Day 5 departs Tama/Toledo and heads onto North Liberty. Total mileage is 76.2 miles and includes 3,123 feet olf climbing. There are 9 stops. The nine towns visited are:

Vining, IA
Chelsea, IA
Belle Plaine, IA
Luzerne, IA
Blairstown, IA
West Amana, IA
South Amana, IA
Homestead, IA
and
North Liberty, IA

Day 5 is the last "long" day. The last two days only total 116 miles.

I packed everything up tonight and Teressa and I will depart for Omaha, NE tomorrow morning at 5 AM (hopefully beating Chicago traffic).

It's time to ride!
