Mankato was our ultimate destination on Day 3, and I added a side trip to the geographic center of the contiguous United States near Lebanon. The terrain begins to become rolling, and wouldn't you know, the geographic center park is at the top of a fairly steep hill!

Today's riding totaled 70 miles with the side trip, which you can view in detail at
Garmin Connect or at Ride With GPS.
