Utica, IL
Bike: Nope!Rest: We slept in today, got up around 7:50 am. It ended up being a beautiful night last night, didn't even put the rain fly on the tent. This morning we all decided a diner for breakfast was a perfect way to start the day, so we all went to a place called the Pine Cone which is only about 7 miles away. Taking the van in two shifts we all made it there. The waitresses were happy to see us and very friendly. I ordered black coffee and a 2x2 which is two eggs any style, two french toast and home fried potatos. Best breakfast I've had in a long time. The waitresses were so excited about our trip they called the local newpaper who came down and interviewed us during breakfast. It's nice to get publicity once and awhile, it helps with the trips goal of creating awareness. As of now, I'm lounging by the pool, reading and keeping cool in this heat. Tomorrow shouldn't be too hard a day, we are going to Clinton, IA which is just over the boarder, across the Mississippi. Max 80 miles, which is short compared to what we have been doing recently. Based on the map it seems like it could be a decent size and fairly beautiful. Sorry I couldn't post recently.
Ride on!
