Training Ride: Limestone to Ashkum
We had a wonderful, almost vehicle-free ride on excellent smoothly paved roads the whole trip (as can be seen in the upper left picture). On the way home, the wind worked its wonder in our favor allowing us to maintain a record-breaking speed (for us!) of 27 mph. Was that ever fun, flying down one long straight stretch of road, the entire road to ourselves!
Once we neared home, we couldn't resist veering from the intended plan (we're flexible like that when there's good reason!) to head east into Kankakee instead of west back toward Limestone. The good reason: a craving for hot fudge sundaes at Dairy Queen. The end result: a sweet 53.4-mile training ride. The new rule: don't be adding up the calories on the restaurant tour.
