Another day, more hills, more people…..OMG it’s a constant sea of people!!!!
But I love it. There is so much to entertain one on the ride. The imagination of the riders, the vendors, the city folk constantly amazes and surprises me.
Today we rode from Perry to Des Moines. I’ve zipped through Des Moines many a time by car, but never at this slow a pace so the view, the sites, the sounds of this wonderful Midwest capitol city, are quite remarkable.
Like I said, people really have enough imagination. Both husband and wife dressed alike and a basket for each of their little dogs.
I wanted to just push on through, but Ziggy was thirsty. I finally gave in to a beer figuring he was of age. What I did not know is that trolls get drunk very quickly. What’s worse is I discovered too that trolls have small bladders and we had to stop every 10 minutes!
To add to my problems, Ziggy wanted us to stop in West Des Moines to visit his cousins. Hmmm, I think I see the resemblance.
Can you believe this? What a beautiful day, but a bit windy the last 15 miles.
