Hello Everyone!Today the Illini 4000 got its first glimpse of mountains! After having to be shuttled into the stay over last night everyone was excited for what the day held. Although it was a long day, all the riders were able to feel the satisfaction of finishing the 75 miles, and got to see many amazing views along the way as well! We are now getting ready to rest up for tomorrow mornin. We were provided an amazing stay over with wonderful food to help us prepare for tomorrow, thanks so much Church of Brethren!!!We'll be back after climbing more mountains!-The Illini 4000
