Day 5 - Biking Iowa - The Scenery & People



The ride today was near 80 miles and fortunately not so hilly. As I take pictures when I stop, that is usually in towns. So today I decided to take a few more to show you some of Iowa's countryside. Starting riding abou 6 AM so a few will have some nice mist still rising from fields.

While it was a long day, it stayed overcast most of the day, keeping temperatures in the high 80's, maybe low 90's later in the day. Not so bad in comparison.

Met Josie and Natalie from Marengo where we are staying the night. They are sophomores at two different colleges. They have known each other a long time and have grown up in this town of less than 5,000. I asked them if they ever wanted to live anywhere else ? They said they were happy here. Small town or not.

I saw a building in a small town for sale. It had two commercial spaces on the bottom floor and one loft space on the top. They all needed to be built out with walls, electrical, and more. However, the total cost was less than $45,000. Total square footage of over 10,000. And a basement.



Not quite Tampa prices, huh ?

Vincent agrees that the square driver is stable, but he said to create that stability the face of the driver is shallow to save mass to fill out the square. club Long John Daly's list of calamities in 2006 was more extensive than one of his colossal drives: domestic difficulties, torn hand ligaments, a broken pinkie, a sore left hip, sciatic nerve problems and plenty of missed cuts. That is the design of the 3-wood, he said. That is the design of the 3-wood, he said.
