It wasn t so bad, after all.
Trepidation surrounded Day 4 of the Register s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa as the National Weather Service forecast highs in the upper 90s and a heat index above 105. Fresh in the minds of riders was the long, brutal Day 1, when temperatures were not quite so high but there was a strong headwind, scarce water and unrelenting sunshine.
But at 67.9 miles, Wednesday s route from Iowa Falls to Waterloo wasn t as lengthy. The temperature mounted throughout the day, but never got past the mid-90s. Overcast skies blocked the worst effects of the sun. And a steady tailwind helped riders sail along.
