We woke up this morning to a brisk Wisconsin breeze, but it turned out to be a beautiful day for riding. As we rode further into Wisconin, the terrain changed from flat flat lands to rolling hills. It's incredible to see the land change so dramatically over just one day of riding! Looking back at the past three weeks, its amazing to think we've already rode through the east coast, Appalachian mountains and midwest plains (and cornfields).
Instead of staying in Madison, we wrapped up a 70 mile day in Fitchburg at the Christ Memorial Church. We were also priveleged to meet (or reunite) with an 2007 Illini 4000 rider, DREW WEBSTER!! He treated the entire team to a dinner at Noodle's and Company, which was a short bike ride away. It was great to hear about last years ride from an experienced rider. Also, it looks like having ice cream is becoming a nightly ritual for the team. Thank you Drew!!!
