Fresh rhubarb pie...at 8:30 AM! |
And were the perfect anecdote to the hills that our tired quads were having to face.
And others as well...
But my favorite guy...button down shirt, lycra leggings and soft hat. Bless his heart!
We pulled into Marshalltown around 12:30....the bank on the corner said it was 98 degrees. We rode over to the Grandview Heights Residential Center and found that our overnight accommodations would be an open field with no shade. So I set up my tent and then hung out in one of the big trailers just so I could be out of the sun. I wonderful massage by Susie under a shady willow tree put me in paradise for an hour...only to be greeted by one of the GVH employees who not only invited me inside to use their wifi but let me know that dinner would be offered...hamburgers, hotdogs, potato salad. So I am all set for the rest of the day. Perhaps I will check back in later.
