Day 34 Heading to Fond du Lac


After a tough day and a tougher night - today was a dream ride.  Started out with a Grand Slam at Denny's and a quick 84 mile ride to Fond Du Lac, WI.  The hot spell that has chased us over the last two weeks (from South Dakota to Minnesota to Wisconsin finally broke.  Today we started out at 65 and ended at about 80 degrees.  

Again lots of corn fields but we are beginning to see more towns.  Small towns in between corn fields.  Corn fields, town, corn field, town.  Our sag stop was in a nice little town with a waterfall.  



These must be great little towns to live in.  Everybody must know everybody (plus each other's business).

In the next little town the American Legion was running a Brat Fry.  Getting a brat seems to be a tradition of the bike tour - so even though it was only 10 am we all stopped for a brat.



It really was good - and the proceeds are used by the American Legion for scholarships, etc.


After this town it was back into the corn fields until we reach Fond du Lac.  Generally a great riding day with not a lot of controversy.

Tomorrow is a short riding day of 54 miles - as we load a ferry to cross Lake Michigan.  

Cheers,

What towns do you depart from and arrive in when crossing Lake Michigan?
