Greenville, Illinois - 52 miles: I woke up this morning (our first morning in Illinois) and it was light outside! For two of our riders, Mark and Andy, it is their first time out of the Eastern time zone and for the rest of us it is just a neat change. To top things off, it was the beginning of a new chores week, mine being breakfast/the easiest chore AND the day was deemed Dia de Los Locos (Day of the Crazies.) This included permanent marker tattoos, strange hair styes, fake hair, bathing suits over our kits, make-up, whistles, flotation devices, and nail polish! Each person attempted to carry a different personality throughout the day as well: Sarah Graham (right) fashioned the life guard persona, Christina had already taken off her bikini bottoms at this point and still has her all-natural and colorful eyeshadow, and I had four braids and tat's on my arms!
We, again, experienced the superb flatness of Illinois. I think we could see about 10 miles ahead because the road was so flat and straight. We also had an awesome lunch with great leftovers from the night before. Apparently other B&B trips to not get treated with the food luxury that we have been treated with (knock on wood.)
Here is one side of our trailer! I am borrowing Sarah Graham's pictures! Yay! I need to take pictures of the other two sides.
I am currently writing in a coffee shop about two miles away from the church we are staying in. Greensville is a very quaint, cute town with a small university.
I love everyone. I love bikes. I love summer. I love food. I love coffee.
