Assistant Ride Leader’s Log. Bike Date 9.15-05-31.21:55

After several fairly uneventful days as the team has started to hit a routine, quite the curve ball was thrown today. Ashley, one of the current directors of Illini 4000, sent us out into the world on our own after being kind enough to devote a week of her time to getting our team to adjust to the Illini 4000 lifestyle. Unfortunately, this also coincided with a weather forecast of really cold, very windy, and raining. The Enterprise and the other members of the fleet braved the conditions until mile 25 of 90, where it was deemed unsafe to continue. In spite of being stuck inside as the van is making trips back forth to get everyone to Westfield, today ended up being yet another fun day of Illini 4000. In the end, we did what needed to be done to keep the team safe, which is what I admire about the leadership of Illini 4000. Fingers crossed the rain will hold off tomorrow!
