Day 36: The red, white, and BLUE!

104.5 miles. Averaged 13.4 mph. Met two guys biking our direction this morning. For a while we were beginning to think we were crazy for not heading west. We had a quick and cheap breakfast with them then took off and said, "we'll probably see you out there!" Then came their reply, "probably not!" It sounded like they were taking their day today. On the road we didn't meet anyone else today. Although, we did meet a few territorial dogs as well as drivers. One baby blue Honda Civic in particular that made a few loops around. Probably just checking to make sure we were ok. Yea. We made it to our last rest stop 12 miles before Chester, IL where we are staying tonight. At the gas station the owner mentions an Eagle Club that has a biker shack for us. We are so glad we stopped there. This shack is awesome. Another free shower and place to stay. It even has air-conditioning. Luxurious. The other great part is that we met a fellow Wolverine, Bruce. He is riding westward across the country for Multiple Sclerosis. You can check out his blog at www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/transcon2010. Great meeting you, Go Blue! Shout out to all the Spartan fans. STATE!

Would it be too far to bike to Chicago?
