Today's 66.1 mile ride was wet. The rain started shortly after we started riding and it rained off and on throughout the day. Other than a 15 minute rainfall on Day 11 and the rain today, the entire trip has been dry and very warm. Due to the rain, the camera did not make many appearances out of its waterproof bag.

| Early in the ride when the rain started, a group of us found a vacant house for sale that we took cover under the front porch. We waited until the downpour subsided and then rode the remainder of the ride in intermittent rain. |
 |
| Our one SAG stop at 33 miles into today's ride. Fortunately the front awning of this Military Surplus store provided some cover and kept the food dry. |
 |
| This ditch along the Mississippi River was filled with these pretty purple wild flowers. |
 |
| The entire ride today was along the Mississippi River. The river was even pretty with the dark clouds, fog, and sporadic rain. |
 |
| About 5 miles from our motel in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, a local homemade ice cream shop, Ranison Ice Cream and Candy, provided a stop for many of the riders. The shakes here were very good, made with hard ice cream rather than soft ice cream. |
