Today we left Urbana with Allison Heim, a rider from last year, and Geoff Merritt, of That's Rentertainment. We all left after breakfast from the Spanish House for a couple of photos and then headed for Rantoul. At Rantoul Allison and Geoff returned to Urbana and we continued for another 60 miles to the Chebanse Zion Lutheran Church, where we were welcomed with cold drinks and snacks. The wind at our backs lightened the load on our 80 mile ride today. One of the groups saw two acrobatic airplanes chasing each other through the sky. Luckily, none of the groups had to outrun the Champaign-Urbana area dogs, like we did during the training rides. More to come, see you in Chicago!
