Into Madison, the end of week 6

Yesterday was our third "century" (100+ mile) ride in a row. It really didnt seam that hard because it was "only" 160km instead of the previous day's 180km. I decided that I wanted some alone time and I ended up riding by myself all day. I made good timing and got to camp by 3:30. It was really nice to have some down time. I was going to try to keep it this a secret so that my mom wouldnt find out but when I told Darrell he managed to promptly tell her anyways lol.Anyways I managed to break the tours fastest top speed. Its the blurry number at the bottom. (The top one is my current speed and the middle is my average) It was CRAZY fast, def finitely got the adrenalin pumping!
Today I woke up to it raining during the night. It was awesome. I love sleeping in a tent when its raining the sound of rain on a tent is flipping awesome. I got up really late as per usual on a "short" 116km day. Ate breakfast and then it started raining fairly good again so naturally, I went back to bed lol. I ended up leaving camp around 8:30 and then John Vanderveen and I started going really fast. We did the first 40km averaging over 35km/hr. It was awesome. After that we slowed down. I am now in Madison, Wisconsin for the weekend and Im very very thankful for a day off.

The Mississippi river on the way into Wisconsin!

Onto a new state! This one is way better then the last one.

Regularly we are reminded, especially by the older people on the tour that it is "not" a race that it is a tour but this video proves otherwise.
