___We drove up to Churdan about 9:30 to watch the bicycles going through. We first noted many support vehicles at Fareway getting some shopping for groceries done. Probably a smart move on their part, to avoid the congestion in Carroll last night and Boone tonight. There was mile long trail of vehicles from the west waiting to go through the 4-way stop at Highway 4 and 30. (They needed a patrolperson to wave them through to speed things along.)
___In Churdan we set our chairs out on the curve on Highway 4. There was a steady stream of bicycles the 1/2 hour we watched. We proceeded to main street. The town was packed. People, bicycles, support vehicles, and cars all over. Every shady spot had someone or a team! The Kiwanis had sold out on sandwiches and this was 11:00. The street was packed with walking people, with and without bicycles. Vendors lined both sides. I didn't even get a picture. You would have had to been above the crowd to get one. What a mob--but a peaceful mob!
____Wondering how Pat and family were doing. The route goes right past their place. They had planned on selling sweetcorn. I don't know if it was ready in time or not.
____Dan plans to ride a day or so, starting at Marengo. He won't be too far from home this year.
