Day 38 Waseca to Gaylord, MN

Its a little after 10am and we've stopped at the library in New Prague to post on the blog. I didn't know if Gaylord would have any access, and its been a few days since I've posted.

We're 33 miles into it today. The weather is once again fabulous! In fact it was actually COLD this morning when we set out. After more than a month of 90-degree and higher days, this weather is really a gift! We will eventually have a SE wind which is great as the rest of the day we'll be traveling almost straight west toward Gaylord.

Our itinerary for the rest of the ride should be as follows (weather permitting):
Sun. 7/1 Gaylord to Hutchinson
Mon. 7/2 Hutch. to Willmar
Tues. 7/3 Willmar to Morris
Wed. 7/4 Rest day in Morris
Thurs. 7/5 Morris to Fergus Falls
Fri. 7/6 Fergus Falls to Detroit Lakes
Sat. 7/7 D.L. to Mahnomen
Sun. 7/8 Mahnomen to TRF

I've been informed that the NCTC foundation is planning a reception for us on Monday in the student commons area at 2pm. I'd hope that you would all consider joining us for a root beer float! Also, I'd like to invite anyone that would like to join us on any part of the last day's ride to join us along the route. We'll be coming up highway 59 from Mahnomen. I'd recommend a short ride in from the casino, but if the mood strikes you, join us at any point along the way!!

Picture this, I open my mailbox to find the first issue of "Northland College Alumni and Friends News" I have ever seen (my husband's an alum). And who did I find inside...my old MSU friend John Leopold. How crazy is that?

Hey John, funny how 20 years doesn't seem that long. Your "adventure" doesn't surprise me. Some things don't change. You're in the homestretch! Best of luck.
