Yesterday we zipped along at good rates with the wind to our backs. But I woke up with a sore legs from the ride the day before. So I took some Tylenol and started out at lunch I still feeling a little under the weather and took some more and that seem to clear things up. Dave said he could tell I was not feeling well as I was less annoying than normal. Not sure about that but I will take being a better person anytime I can. So from now on I will hit my head on a wall in the morning to be less annoying and thereby make Dave stay a little better.
Lunch at small town of Neunert was OK not great as it was fried chicken. Dave has asked if everything in Southern Illinois is deep fat fried. I said he had a deep fried Hot dog so yes.
After we cycled 58 miles we stopped in the Trail of Tears State park in Illinois and the experience was a little different. The campsites are all primitive with no running water. As we did not know this we were just a little short. All that experience on trail paid off as we had enough for dinner and breakfast. The sites are removed from the road so we saw deer and heard what I believe were wolf howling maybe only coyotes but what the heck it was cool.
Today we did 45 miles to Cairo and stopped in the Belveder motel. The room is dark but clean and all the stuff works sort of so for the price it is OK. But I think a Demolition Derby parking lot would be nicer. (yes I am still resentful)
At a small town called Tamms we stopped for lunch of pizza and were greeted by the official bicycle greeter who is going to buy an elliptical glide bicycle that you ride standing up. My butt would appreciate that.
I really must apology to Dave as my butt is dragging the last two days I hope to feel more energized tomorrow, that means I can start complaining more again.
Thankful for the Day
We stopped at a the top of a hill to catch our breath. While waiting a young girl came running down to hill to offer water so I must say I am grateful for generosity of people.
