Today the team rode 80 miles from Cleveland Heights to Wooster, Ohio! Today was a doozy, and getting out of Cleveland was a nightmare. Ohio has got to be in the world records for most potholes! We began the ride on the Cuyahoga river trail. Some people loved it, others could barely breath due to allergies. The air was thick with dust for all the trees it made it very difficult for those with allergies. After a ways of climbing in the warm sun we made it to lunch. Rolling in exhausted and low on moral is the exact opposite from the way we felt rolling out of lunch. T-Roy, a local store owner has invited Illini 4000 teams to his local store for the last few years. He is a legend! Spoiling us with meat and cheese sandwiches, fruit and something very rare this summer.. veggies. He also gave us a free voucher to get ice cream at his store which was delicious and just the pick me up the team needed after a rocky start. Thank you so much T-Roy and all the others that we met at the shop for your kindness and warm welcome on such a tough day!I would also like to thank Westminster Church for hosting us tonight and providing us more than enough space.~Tailwinds~MandyFlat count: 1Song of the day: Another one bites the dustMemorable moment: Singing to Nick for his birthday during breakfast as he ate his oats and giving him a very I4K worthy card. Also the delicious pizza and ice cream the team got for his birthday! First Illini 4000 birthday celebration (“check that off the list” -Caroline)
