Stats: We rode 84 miles under cloudy am skies and sunny pm skies. Temperatures were very pleasant in the high 70's. We had a fast paced very enjoyable ride on flat terrain similar to the last 3 days. The weather has been very kind to us all week. Scenery consisted of more fields of soy beans and corn. The amount of production capacity our country has for food is amazing. We had lunch in Olivia at mile 46 which proclaims itself "The Corn Capital" hence the shelter at their park. With the early finish today I first stopped downtown at the DQ for refreshments and then joined the crew at a sports bar which I happened to pass on the return to camp. Both provided vital nutrient replenishment. Upon arriving at Hutchinson Middle School, our campsite for the night, we learned that their indoor pool was available for our use so we had a very refreshing hour swim. Dinner tonight is at the school.
