Chester, IL > Tunnel Hill, Il
Miles Ridden – 89.0
Mileage to date – 2,686.9
Not a whole to report for yesterday. The destination was Tunnel Hill which is best known for a railroad tunnel and a bike path. That is pretty much it. He did spend the night in a campground in Shawnee National forest.
John did pass close to Metropolis, IL hometown of Superman!
He should be in Kentucky later today.
His account of the day –
“Yesterday’s ride was a lot of fun but more challenging than one might expect. We encountered a road closure and missed a turn that added a few miles to our count. We were all surprised at the hills we encountered here in Illinois. Fortunately, the weather was very comfortable and we managed to get to the campground with plenty of time to set-up and get a shower before dark.”
