My Diva and Me: Prairie du Chien, WI to Winona, MN - 97 miles

Prairie du Chien, WI to Winona, MN - 97 miles

Got an early start this morning. It was cold and drizzling, then rain. Actually I didn't mind riding in the rain. I prefer it over strong headwinds or heat. Small towns were Lynxville, Ferryville, DeSoto, Genoa, Stoddard. Saw a couple of lock and dams along the route but was able to take a photo of just one.

The only major city we rode into was LaCrosse before crossing the River over to the Minnesota side to finish in Winona. The large statue is of Hiawatha in LaCrosse.

Winona is the Island City and also the stained glass capital of the world. Winona Ryder is from this city and that is how she got her name.
