Wed, June 9

Good news! It is NOT raining for Doug today, according to the weather report. It is, however, windy. He's planning to get to Tomah WI today.
Doug's email:
Today was tough, I left at 6:30 to try and beat some of the wind. By 10:00 I had gone about 30 miles, then the wind started. It increased to about 20 mph before the end of the ride.
At 6 miles from my projected route there was a detour that added about 10 miles. Total mileage for the day, 75 average speed 11.1. I got here about 2:30 but I was whipped. I going to try to reach Winona Mn tomorrow. Looks like I might have a slight tailwind.
Having beer in my room to help recover.
I talked to him on the phone. He is in a good mood. Might be the beer. Might be all those supportive emails.
