Today was a hot one. I rode with Alberto from Iona, and after a reroute to keep the cyclists on less traveled roads we found ourselves 100 miles later arriving at our lodging at Camp Albricht.
The ride was very hilly and the roads weren't in the best shape. Couple with 96 degree heat and 75% humidity it was a tough ride, but we made it through.
Following showering at lodging we colored pictures and danced with some of the campers before heading to our big team event.
Near the town of Sherrill is the site where the movie Field of Dreams was filmed. We got to take some swings at the ball and played a mini game on the field. Even though it was still extremely hot we all enjoyed our time at the field.
Following the Field we headed back to lodging where we dinner. There's nothing like a hearty meal of bowtie pasta, dinner rolls, corn, beans and salad.
After dinner we had a dance and friendship visit with the campers. Even though there was air conditioning in the gym everyone still worked up quite a sweat leading to us having to shower a second time after the dance. The campers all had a blast, as did all of the JOH guys. We can never Cupid Shuffle too many times!
Tomorrow we cross the Mississippi into Illinois and onto Rockford. It'll be a nice 110 miles through the heat and humidity again. Thanks for checking in!
Love & Honor,
Beau
