First of all sorry for the delay in our updates, we sent our laptop home on the first day due to weight. We will try to update twice a week if possible, however this was the first we had public internet use.
So on 6/1/06 we started in Sparta, WI at 6:45am and arrived 3:00pm in Brownsville, MN. Our Travel time: 44 miles and 3hr 47 min. Lots of problems today:
Shawn broke 4 rear wheel spokes, about 1 every 10 miles. He made all repairs however we stopped at Buzz's Bike Shop in La Crosse, WI to fine tune his wheel and buy extra spokes. We went $40 over our budget today. We shipped the laptop home to cut down on weight and tossed a few items we didn't really need. The weather was perfect and our campsite (Wild Cats Campground) in Brownsville, MN is very nice, it's clean and even has hot showers and you can buy snacks. It only cost us a $1 for both of us to shower and $18 for the campsite. As for us we feel pretty good, our back and shoulders are a little sore and we're definelty tired. The scenary along the Mississippi River is just Beautiful.
