At home in Homewood, IL

Today we arrived in Homewood, IL, which is a suburb 35 miles south of Chicago. We were blessed with another tailwind today, which made the 60 mile ride feel like 30. Other than the small stretch of road filled with gravel and potholes, the ride went smoothly and most groups managed to get here before noon. We were welcomed with snacks and beverages at the Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church on Dixie Highway. The people at the church were extremely hospitable to us. They offered us access to the entire church, dinner, and even showers. Tomorrow, we will be riding to Millennium Park in downtown Chicago. We will be taking a tour of the UIC Oncology Center and have dinner with the Chicago Alumni Club afterwards.
