Day 4 was only 78 miles, but was harder than yesterday’s 84 miles. After four days of tailwinds, we have entered the HEADWIND ZONE. Riding against headwinds is much easier in a crowd, but it still requires more effort. We also climbed over 3000 feet today, with some hills steeper than the ones we rode in the first couple of days. Today’s route started in Winterset and took us through the great little towns of St. Charles, St. Marys, Indianola, Milo, Lacona, and Melcher-Dalls, before getting to our campsite in Knoxville. Another fantastic day of weather for RABBRAI 51!
