It started out to be a great day....cloudless sunny day, light jacket, in the low 70's. Then it started to get warm....last temperature display I saw was 96°. Off came the jacket. Two days ago, it was a stretch for the temperature just to get to 70°. Iowa and Minnesota crop lands don't offer great views, but for the most part, the roads were in good condition and traffic was very light between towns. Everything blooming in all the towns.
The trip started to SUCK when I started heading west in a straight line. There was a strong cross wind coming directly from the south and it did not let up for a second for about 180 miles. It's a ribbon of road through flat as a pancake crop land, and it's beyond me why anyone would want to call this home. At some point, rigor mortis started to set in because of the "death grip" I had on the handlebars. Great area for these:
Have to wonder if the artist had the television program by the same name in mind when this was done:
