Day 14 8th August

We wanted to get away early this morning so we set a time of 8.30 as I wrote about yesterday. Five of us were on time and two were five minutes late. (Shawn and Rully.)  One of the group was half an hour late and then went back to his room for twenty minutes. I will not mention any name but Mike got a severe roasting.

Today we road 345 miles from South Sioux City Nebraska to Anamosa, Iowa. Total todate is 3,788 miles with a long way to go.

Fairly uneventful  ride today through fairly flat country unfortunately the area is going through a severe drought. The ride was half on regular roads and half on highways. The roads are very straight so concentrating is very hard. We rode through some rain but out to either side was big storms. Tonight we were expecting a severe storm so we ordered pizza delivery to the hotel. Who said us bikers were tough.

We are now not far from Chicago so we are dipping south to avoid any heavy traffic. Tomorrow morning we visit a world famous motorbike museum so we will be late on the road.

We stopped for gas in a little town in Iowa and across the road  in a shed with a glass front. Inside was a 2,225 pound popcorn ball from 1995. My reflection was captured (has my reflection added weight?)
