Beautiful trail

We slept in this morning, a luxury possible without our two and half year old(whom we miss lots). Breakfast at hotel patee and then hit the beautiful rural trail. we didn't pass a single other biker.

Jim has been biking to work but my Swimming has not prepared my behind, which is paying the price for my not having biked much at all.

We are having lunch in jefferson at a cafe. i ordered the fish dinner and jim a veggie burger. his burger arrived but it was a beef burger. He hailed the waitress, pointed to the burger and said, "I ordered the veggie burger". The waitress replied that that was the veggie burger. The two exchanged quizzical looks and jim explained he was a vegetarian. the waitress said, "son, this is iowa and this is a veggie burger- a burger with veggies" veggies being lettuce and tomato. 

Time to get back on the road....
