Thursday 8th July 1999 -> Quincy, IL

Another day, another state! Breakfast was an average buffet at 6-30am in the hotel.

The morning was clear and virtually still. I left about 7-10am on the basically flat ride with a few small rolls and farmland for scenery.

A swarm of black bugs covered my face, arms and legs on the way. We crossed the Mississippi river just as we entered Quincy after 73.1 miles in 3hrs 57m with a max of 32.1mph.

Dinner was served late and was the minimal – salad plus pasta plus sauce with ice cream. Just as well I had gorged on a huge plate of nachos at lunch!
