It really felt good to be on the move again. I started out early today, since we had 94mi to go and there were heat warnings out for the day. It did get warm, but a stiff SW breeze helped make it seem a bit cooler. Even though, I did feel like I was getting sunstroke or something towards the end of the ride, so I took a 10min break in the shade 8mi out from the end and it seemed to help. I was able to manage the last few miles after that. Towards the end of the ride, the "breeze" became a fight, robbing me of speed. Blah. We are staying the night at a campground east of Rockford, IL. We ate at a bar/grill across the street. Food was mediocre, but acceptable, and it was kinda fun. Soon after dinner a small storm blew up and soaked everything. Not much thunder. I am hoping a more intense storm will come through tonight. Storms are entertaining, and they would help cool things off!
