We again left US-36 for quieter state roads on Day 5 en route to Marysville. The winds decided to blow hard from the SE, meaning we spent the day with at least a component of headwind. I enjoyed a long lunch in Barnes to recover and refuel from the exertion. Marysville offered a proper beer garden that evening to help ease the pain.

The challenging day took us 70 miles, which you can view in detail at
Garmin Connect or at Ride With GPS.
