Effingham. IL

July 26th

We crossed the Mississippi River today, which has been on of my favorite parts of the trip so far.  We crossed over the old Route 66, which has since been converted into a pedestrian bridge.  The rest of the day was flat and the mileage totaled 116.  We had Panera Bread for lunch on the road which was my favorite lunch so far.  We stated at the local Arc and went to the CEO’s home for dinner.  They were great sponsors and let us use their home as if it was our own.  We watched a bit of the last stage of the Tour de France which they taped for us.  I was exhausted from the ride so the air mattress felt great!
