Ride Day #36 Madison WI to Raccoon Creek IL

Today they enter their ninth state!

Class Reunion

They got on the trail at 0919 with full cloud cover and a temperature of 61° heading south to IL. They have a mix of trails & country roads today.

Not sure what planet they are from…Washington DC?
I didn’t think they came out during the daylight.
The Sheriff IS Near!
MaryBeth! I found where she gets wild!
The support vehicle is in a DISTANT 2nd place

A few breaks in there was a Lady mowing that had to stop and come to visit. she laughed and smiled when the story was told.

They stopped for lunch in Brodhead WI….ice cream is all the place had. After that we found an FFA cookout and had pork chops.

Welcome to Illinois! How do you know? The pavement changed.

Ride called at the Raccoon Creek IL due to rain.

Buck’s quote: cloudy and cool all day….. enjoyable ride without sunscreen.

Al’s quote. It’s great to be in Illinois, our 9th state!

Day 36. Madison WI to (near) South Beloit WI. 58 miles. 2,039 feet of climb. Rain threatened us all day. We declared a rainout 9 miles short of the planned end point. We’ll get those 9 miles tomorrow when it’s dry.

    Weird vibe today. [cue the twilight zone theme]
    Storming here as I write this. Hope for cloudy skies and no rain for the guys tomorrow.
