After the hype of the first few weeks had died down, riding into Champaign and Chicago was something to look forward to. Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois all essentially look the same, so it was nice knowing that we would get to see some familiar faces pretty soon. The time spent at home seeing family and friends is very much appreciated. That being said, I’m real excited to start moving out west in a week or so. I know the riding will only get more challenging and the weather will get hotter, but it will be worth it.
