Another couple of great riding days here (about halfway between Chicago and St Louis) and the forecast is for more of the same.

Sunny and warm. Even in the mornings I've been getting a bit sweaty wearing only summer riding clothes. Yesterday and today the wind was even not too bad. I've been feeling strong.

This evening I came upon a co-worker broken down in his car on my one big climb. Poor guy. Had he only made it to the top he could've gotten into the parking lot up there. Instead he was stuck in the woods. There's a decent shoulder, so he was out of traffic, but not much other room.

But we don't really have to worry about stuff like that, do we? (smirk, smirk)
