Interstate 90: Yikes!

Interstate 90 near Albert Lea is in rough shape. Perhaps most telling are the bumps detected by my video camera and thumping thud of tires rolling over the road.

On our way back from a 8k road race this morning in Janesville, we took Interstate 90 from Alden to Albert Lea. Jen was napping in the passenger's seat. Jokingly, I warned her that she would need to brace her self because the ride was going to be rough for the rest of our trip.

It's no joke, though, when I actually think about it. Some of the potholes are so big I worry about my tires getting punctured on edges of deep cracks in the pavement.
