Day two, everybody talks to me like I'm an idiot...

You'll notice from the map.. this is what happens when you navigate in small patches... tomorrow we'll unfold the whole map and pick a straight line... or maybe not.



Bikes were still there this morning, despite Ted's sleepless night. Dinner was so good last night that we went back and got drunk on the patio... if you can get drunk on Coke no ice -- Dave.

Internet sucked, so yesterday's post went up this evening.

Weather was good today, kinda overcast and looked like it might rain later but never did. Chicago sucked. Everyone we talked to said it would, and it did. Don't go there. Traffic was thick, even though it was Sunday, and construction everywhere. But we did get a glimpse of the Sears Tower.

We slowed down a bit today. Yesterday was 110 to 120km/hr, today was 100-110. A nicer drive.

As we left Chicago, we headed north to Rockford, then west. The countryside turned to rolling hills, something like Alberta. Very nice. Iowa is also very rolling, and cornfields everywhere.

Really weird people though, all the women lift their shirts for bikers. Dave almost went off the road a couple of times. Finally found a couple of chicks that were under 250 lbs, so picked them up. haha hhaah, just kidding.

Hundreds of bikes in Dubuque, don't know why. Perhaps someone with internet access and still at work can check for us. And while you're at it, Ivan, check and see if you can find out what's wrong with my windshield. I followed your advice and had that "birthmark" fixed, but now it's all curvy and different shaped. Can you tell what's wrong from looking at the picture below? or will you have to do some research? That's me on the left.



Well that's it for today. We're in Marshalltown, Iowa. Much nicer hotel room that last night at that place in Sturgis. And the internet works too!
