Hot Humid Windy

We biked from Lake Geneva, WI to Middleton, WI covering about 81 miles. After getting used to biking 50 miles or less, today we were in for a bit of a surprise.  Even though it was 100 degrees and windy we found shade in the bike trails of Madison.Some of us found time to visit the University of Wisconsin on our way, and discovered all of its beauty, while others of us took a dip in a local lake.We are lucky to have people like the alumni association and the members of the St. Luke’s Lutheran Church to welcome us, especially under such late notice! We were treated with lots of delicious food thanks to the alumni association; the showers weren’t bad either!  We also had the pleasure of doing a Portrait of Randy Riemer, business coordinator of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, who survived testicular cancer, as well as was a caregiver for his mother, who had brain cancer. Huge thanks to everyone who helped us out today! Heading to Reedsburg tomorrow!Thanks for everything,The Illini 4000
