Elevation Gain: 5000 ft
As you can see today was a long day with lots of climbing. Each climb wasn't too bad but it was one after another (rolling hills). I was well on my way to finishing the 94 miles when the sky started to look very threatening. I was pedaling fast but you can't outrun a thunderstorm. All of a sudden I could smell the rain. A few minutes later the wind storm hit along with the rain. I was very nearly blown over. I got off the bike and luckily was abe to find a building right off the road where I could get under the eaves. The van driver came back and picked me up along with 3 other riders.
The picture of the horse is a statue that was out in the middle of a field. There was no apparent reason for it to be there.
We crossed 3000 miles today. I just can't believe that. I am starting to feel sad that this will be ending soon.

Jan, you look GREAT out there. And WOW, all those miles! Drove to the beach this weekend and the corn is shoulder high in these parts.
