Belmond, Iowa to Leon, Iowa

Today was truly a crazy day to be on the road - in fact, radio advisories told residents that if they didn't need to be outside - to STAY INDOORS! But no breaks for the 800 Meters crew. Pedaling their way south, they ended up just a few miles away from the Missouri border. It's amazing the cyclists made it that far, with the heat index up over 100!!
