Iowa Falls to Waterloo, Iowa...63 miles
I rode with Ron and Cal again today. I've come up with a new name for the folks like us who leave early; Lobby Buffaloes. We mill around early in the
morning eating, then stampede at top speed to the next motel and lay around in the motel in the hot afternoon waiting on our rooms.
On the ride this morning there was always someone feeling good who would push the pace so we ended up with over 15 mph average even with a partial headwind. At least we beat the downtown lunch bunch by getting in for lunch about 11:30 AM.
The house pictured is one built by Sear Roebuck back in the days when they were in that business. My grandparents had one of these in Wisconsin. I've seen several here in Iowa.
