I was late getting to the start line, so never caught up to the main field. Some lonely stretches of highway ensue.
Waiting for the ferry at Kampsville, IL.
Taking the ferry at Kampsville, IL.
Kampsville rest stop had a young lad about Gabe's age to help give riders refreshments. Great to see the youngsters involved!
Another rest stop. Each one had a full stock of food, mechanics, and latrines. Very well done. Great volunteers as well. Can't say enough good things about these rest stops.
You've never seen so much corn!
At this point (somewhere in the 80's I think) of the ride, I couldn't see anyone behind or in front of me for miles in each direction. The lonely highway...
The last section along the Mississippi River. Maybe 2 miles until the finish line at the water park.
At the finish. Mile 101!
104.85 total miles ridden today. Not bad.
A little better picture of the ferry crossing, using my iPhone.
