We awoke in Quincy to the sound of thunder. The day's ride did not start until 10:15 when the storm had passed. The mileage for the day was 107, meaning that all riders were not at the hotel until after 6. Several of them called it the best day of the tour. A tailwind likely helped after the previous day's tough headwind.
The ride to Champaign the next day had a nice tailwind the last 40 miles. I was off the bike by then. Carol, Robin, and I had a nice dinner with Champ Walker and his wife Roni. Champ pedaled a hundred miles to see us averaging over 20 miles per hour.
I like your Jersey
