Rising at 5-30am for a 6am breakfast, it was still dark, misty and mild. A surprisingly good buffet of sausages, eggs, French toast, cereal, fruit, orange juice etc was breakfast at the hotel.
I left about 6-30am into another still day. There were again many turn and a few gentle rolls. Road conditions varied from superb – clean black top – to many miles of rough as guts that vibrated the whole bike.
Scenery was tree lined roads with less corn and soybean crops – in fact, not many crops at all. A few houses but no towns or shops punctuated the landscape.
I cycled 96.3 miles in 5hrs 17m with a max of 38.8mph. This was not bad considering the legs were still feeling the previous 2 days! HR was around 110-130. A tail / cross wind was just noticeable in the last hour or so.
Dinner was at a chinese restaurant buffet across the road. The food was good, complete with dessert.
