Day 29. Mankato to Rochester, MN

100 miles, 2359 feet of climbing. Back to back centuries. Mostly rolling terrain with a couple of steep climbs, one right out of the hotel. That was really tough on a full stomach and not being warmed up. One poor guy got a flat tire in the middle of it. I think I may have heard the f bomb fly. The wind was from the SW which helped keep us cooler tha we would have been without it. Once again it was HOT and muggy.

We leave Minnesota tomorrow. As I look back on it, I'll remember tons and tons of corn and soybeans with magnificent farm houses. The houses all have freshly manicured lawns, with beautiful flower gardens and hanging baskets.

More tomorrow, as it will be another early day.
