Day 38/Aug 6 - Sioux Center to Algona - 182km




Hokay so, I be on sweep today - the longest day of the tour. Oh dear. BUT! Let me tell you something. For a while now we've all been praying for a tail wind. Please, please, please - and when does God give us the tail wind? On the longest day of the tour! We were truely blessed today. A lot of the riders got in faster today on the 180 day than a 130 with a head wind, so nice! It was also nice for us as sweep because the day also wasn't as long. We started off the day by going to a dutch bakery for coffee - it was so goet zo! Had a coffee, doughnuts, and droolled over the droppies. Then we stopped at a park (where they had cookies, bars, gatorade etc.) for us. We stayed there for awhile underneath a little shelter - played cards and avoided the rain. Sweep is sweet, we have to be last, so we take a lot of time - and its always a good time. So yes again, another good day.
