We left a little later this morning because we only had a 50 mile day into Lake Geneva. We rode for Richard Rooney, my Uncle Brian’s grandpa who passed away from colon cancer.

Another state line was crossed as we entered into Wisconsin. We were a tad worried about the weather forecast, but we only got rained on a little bit this morning. The route was pleasant because a lot of it was on a pretty and shaded bike path.

We got a portrait at our first rest stop from a woman named Sarah. She was diagnosed with breast cancer a couple of years ago. Ever since she has said 100 thank you’s a day and never takes anything for granted. She has a great attitude and she sees every day as an adventure.

We are staying at the lake house of Brad Topol’s parents. Brad was one of Illini 4000’s founders. They provided snacks and a delicious dinner for us. After dinner some of the team went downtown for ice cream.

Looking forward to moving further into Wisconsin!
