Day Seven - West Union to Lansing





Can’t believe we’re on the last leg of the journey! Another 65.4 miles and we’re done!  Actually because of detours, missed roads and camp locations, I believe we’re racking up more miles than listed! Lol.  The ride today hasn’t been the most we’ve ridden in a day but it was difficult. Really long climbs! Stopped in Elgin, they call it Little Switzerland.







At one of our break stops, we saw two guys with a pup - dachshund chihuahua mix. He was happy to be in his trailer but every now and then we’d see him jump out of the trailer and run alongside them. So cute!




Loved seeing all the cows, 
except when we passed their barns! 😳
Hoo doggies!

Don’t know what these were…maybe female turkeys?



The town before Lansing we stopped for water. Met John and Vanessa.  They live in Ohio and told us about some great trails in their state. 

Another girl said hi and we said “almost done!”. She mentioned she was done already. I said “you must have aced it!” She said “yeah, we’ll go with that!” Lol
I think we all were weary from today’s ride!


Wow - we made it to Lansing!!  As we passed by other cyclists celebrating at a nearby restaurant, they cheered us on!  That was great!
Hooray! 🤸🏻‍♀️



Did the traditional front tire dip in the Mississippi River!  Yay!!
