It was a good Sabbath rest in Coralville, Iowa. In the morning, I attended the Methodist church which was just outside of the park. In the afternoon, I enjoyed the indoor pool, which was part of the city park where we were staying. It also had a hot tub, which was put to good use to massage my muscles. At 5:30, the whole group attended New Life church, a RCA church plant that held a special evening service for us. Afterwards, they provided supper.
A word about the weather: yesterday and today it was very cool. In fact, I read today that the area is having record low temperatures for over night. It was in the 70's during the day. It was great for biking. At camp, with the wind and in the shade, you needed long pants and at night an extra layer. I didn't mind the cool temperatures. At least it stayed dry.
On Monday, we had a 153 km ride (almost another century) to get out of Iowa. Finally, the hills disappeared and the winds were calm on a cool day. In other words, a great day for cycling. Right at the end, we crossed the Mississippi River and entered into Illinois. We are staying just across the border in Fulton at a Christian school, who will serve us supper tonight.
