Flawless start

First day down and it couldn't have gone better. We had left Chicago by midday and that left us 8 hours to get ~310 miles. Spent a little bit of time on interstate 90 which went quickly, a 75 mph cruise isn't slow! After that things quickly settled down with a lot of travel through corn fields and single lane highway to a winding road following the banks of the Mississippi.

We've been able to talk to each other the whole way using a wireless radio set..  Tim refers to this as the 'Bill abuse line'... In my defence, it can be frustrating following the only guy with a GPS who has to stop at every intersection to check it is OK (glad it is him and not me though!). We've been having a laugh and the scenery keeps things interesting.

A few pubs on the agenda tonight and La Crosse is definetly a country town not to miss. Very easy to leap frog pubs without spending more than a few minutes on the street and the locals are friendly.

Couple of pics below, hitting the sack as it is 6 hours until we ride again!

Until next time.
