What a Ride!

Greetings!!
I finally have some connection with the world. I was unable to get internet connections in the last three towns I have stayed overnight in. I am in Independence, Iowa inside a Middle School waiting out a rain storm while my tent is getting pounding with rain and wind.

There are so many experiences I can share...I will post a couple of photos. I hope to create an online photo album when I'm done with the ride for all to see. Tomorrow morning we have a photo opportunity with Lance and then a group ride out on the route. Lance is probably leaving soon to fly to France because the 1st and 2rd place riders in the tour de France are from Discovery Channel which he is part owner. Very exciting!
