Today was a tough day for me. In additional to the 94 miles
we needed to do, I had an upset stomach during the night and did not get much
rest. When I got up, I still did not feel the best. I decided to “gut” it out
and try to get the day in. It was a very long day for me. I rested as much as I
could at each SAG stop, but just did not have much strength. I rode alone for
most of the way, so I could go the pace I felt the most comfortable. At the end
of the day, I joined a couple other bikers and we crossed the Mississippi River
from Clinton, IA into Fulton, IL.
I was so beat when I
arrived in camp, that I could hardly move. I managed to get a shower in and
then slept until dinner time. I was so beat that Julie went and got dinner for
me and I ate in camp and crawled back in bed and slept the rest of the night. I
did not get to meet the local people who put us up at Unity Christian High
School and provided the meal. I did not get any pictures taken today.
We have another 87 miles tomorrow, so I am praying for
strength for one day at a time. “Give us THIS DAY our daily bread”.
