Day 34: Lots and lots of corn and soy bean fields. Flat terrain, bright blue sk’s and very comfortable temperatures. We covered plenty of miles today, 2nd day in a row to go over 100 miles. My legs feel good but more importantly my bike seat and I have come to an understanding, I won’t hurt it if it won’t hurt me. So far so good! I rode with my consistent riding partner Phil, but today we got a treat and rode the day with Gerand Boisse one of our tour leaders. Gerard is an amazing guy, he is a great bike mechanic, a super bike rider and has a very witty sense of humor. We worked it hard today and were able to average over 18 mgh for 112 miles, not bad for a couple of ole dudes. Stopped by and took pictures of the state capital and rode fast to get our milk shake fix. We have our 3rd century in a row tomorrow, oh boy!
