Saturday 10th July 1999 -> Champaign IL

Surprisingly, breakfast was worse than yesterday! Late with cold French toast and waffles. I left after doughnuts and cold toast and waffles.

Leaving at 6-50am under another clear blue sky, we rode all day into a medium strength head (mostly) and cross wind. It was very frustrating!!

It took almost 2hrs to reach sag 1 at 32 miles over a few gentle rolls but essentially flat country of corn field and soy beans? The wind and scenery continued all the way into town.

Overall, it took 5hrs 19m to cover 89.2 miles with a max of 27.1 over essentially flat country – 17m more than yesterday and 16.8 miles less – yes, I could feel the wind!

Dinner was a chinese buffet at the Fortune House just down the road. It was a good change of food with superb service – we all left full!
