Leaving Gays Mills was tough, not only because sleeping was so comfortable, but because the was a giant hill on our was to La Crosse. After conquering the 15 miles of hills for the day, we came upon the Mighty Mississippi, it was really cool to see up close. As we rode along the river, we came to the town of Ferryville and realized we were pretty hungry. To overcome our hunger, we stopped at a small cafe and had a really good second breakfast. There we met this guy, named Steve, who offered some of us a ride to the top of a park, where there were fantastic views of the River and the junction of Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. A few miles after lunch he met us on the Iowa border, and Sidny, Angel, Heather, and took the truck ride up the steep hill to see an amazing view.
Because it took so long and was out of the way, I volunteered myself to be sweep for the rest of the day so others could continue on. The rest of the day felt like it took forever but we finally got to our destination, which was further north than La Crosse and in a town called Onalaska. There we had a nice barbecue, gave a presentation, bike clinic, and got a good nights sleep.
