Friday to Dyersville

Days are getting shorter, with today being only 59 miles. A storm had passed thru the area overnight, and some of the route around Dundee was thru a state park that was hilly with curves, and they decided to cut that part out, which reduced the mileage from around 65 miles to the 59. We got going shortly before 7am, going thru Winthrop, Lamont, Dundee, Manchester, Earlville and then getting to Dyersville at about 1:45. 3:44:17 of riding time, avg speed of 15.8mph, best mile of 21.1mph. Day was cooler, and the wind had shifted to the north, but it was still humid and the sun was hot once it came out in the afternoon. We went to a spagetti dinner at the Catholic church, sat around for a bit, then went into town to check out a few bars. Fun evening.
