Today is another century(a ride of 100 miles or more) and many folks are nervous. It turns out to be a fairly easy ride with a mild tailwind, pretty smooth roads, not much traffic, mild weather, and an elevation profile that shows a net loss of 1000 feet over the hundred plus miles. I finished in less than 6 hours of riding time. The morning's route took us by a huge bio diesel plant and then this huge wind turbine. It must have been close to 200 feet tall.
The population center of Minnesota are closer together than the previous few states. I also noted that the roadway ditches are really clean of debris. Oregon should take note.
In the small town(?) of Grogan I noticed this humorous sign.

Other than more pics of corn and soybeans, there was precious little of interest for photo ops on today's ride.
A rather easy day in spite of the mileage. We have another 100 miler tomorrow...
