Today was overcast which kept the temperatures cooler. There were some gentle hills the first third of the ride and then it leveled out. The ride was 109 miles mostly through large fields of corn and some soybeans. As you can see from the picture, the corn is nearly waist high.The ride took seven hours. The temperature was 78 degrees when we arrived at the hotel in Springfield, Illinois.
One more riding day before a rest day in Champaign. The forecast tomorrow calls for showers in the morning and severe weather in the afternoon. It will be interesting to see how many of the 87 miles we can get in before the severe weather hits.
