After my 30 hour nap yesterday, I was in better shape to get out on the bicycle today. It felt like I just came down with a typical cold. It's the first one in several years and I have no idea where I caught it from. It will likely take a few more days to really get over the cold but I should be able to ride reasonably well.
The route today was quite pleasant. There was a bit of a tail wind at the beginning and no really annoying winds at any time. It was very hilly. This area is covered with small little valleys cut into the plains and leading down to the Mississippi. The highways were cutting "across the grain" of these valleys. It was also hot and humid again. I saw a sign in Rushford that said 91F (33C) at noon. I am sure that it got hotter than that.
Cell service was really bad in this area so for most of the trip I didn't have any communications with Rochelle. Rochelle caught up to me about 20 km short of La Crosse and just a few km before the Wisconsin border.
I broke another spoke earlier in the day. The rear wheel is done. When Rochelle caught up with me, we happened to be in front of a place that had open WiFi so we borrowed a little to look up bike shops in La Crosse and call them via Skype. Bikes Limited said that they had replacement wheels to match my bike so we put the bike on the back of VanGo and headed there before they closed. 
So I've got a new wheel and a new pair of gloves for $200. I've been looking for a new pair of gloves that had the right kind of padding in them for quite some time. As you can see, from the old ones, I really needed them.
I guess VanGo was feeling left out so he wouldn't start when we went to leave the bike shop. Looks like either a starter or solenoid problem. We had this happen once before on the trip but it "fixed" itself within a matter of minutes. Not so this time. We gave VanGo a push start with the help of a couple of friendly locals and got to our campsite. 
Since then it hasn't started. I'm hoping it will start again when all cools down. If not, we will be here until Monday and can get in to see a mechanic.
So we may be parked next to the Mississippi longer than we had hoped for.
We are aiming at reaching O'Hare Airport in Chicago on July 4 so Rochelle can fly to Ottawa the following day. Any additional days out of the riding schedule will likely mean we will have to drive to the airport rather than ride to it.
