https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BBVxEV1Tk/ After a very uncomfortable night sleeping on a deflated pad, I packed up early and hit the road. My mission for the day was clear, find a store that carried sleeping pads. After about 50 miles of pedaling through the usual mix of rural Iowa roads and endless cornfields, I rolled into a small town with a sporting goods store. The options were limited, but I picked the most promising one and hoped for the best. The rest of the day passed without much fanfare. The terrain was flat, the weather hot, and the scenery consistent corn, soybeans, and more corn. Eventually, I made it to a small local campground, where I lucked into some unexpected company. There was an archery competition happening nearby, and I ended up spending the evening chatting with folks about bows, arrows, and all the gear that goes with it. Hopefully the new sleeping pad holds up. Looking forward to another full day on the road tomorrow.
