Across America North - day 32 - Rochester, MN --> La Crosse, WI
We've certainly been racking up a lot of miles lately. The schedule says about 480 miles
in 5 days and we're on day 4. A 13-mile section of today was on a bike path through the
woods. I rode it alone with no one behind or ahead. After a few more miles on the road, I
approached the big hill at mile 71 still alone. The big hill has a name, Happel Hill, as a
sign at the bottom told me. It was about 2 miles long and averaged 10% steep. At about
mile 80, the Welcome to Wisconsin sign appeared followed soon by the Mississippi River.
After the river, the trip through La Crosse was a few miles on 4th St., a very busy street
crowded with some very busy drivers. I was glad to see the hotel where I would get off
that street.
Tomorrow is another 90-mile day. Today is Thursday. We'll cross Wisconsin and be in
Michigan by Monday.
