I had the day off because of Triton College's summer hours. I started my ride at about 10 a.m. with cloudy skies and occasional spits of rain. At first, I thought I would simply ride to Starbucks and back to add a few extra miles to my seasonal total. However, as time passed, skies became partly cloudy and spits of rain became less frequent . . . so I kept riding. Temperatures were in the upper 60s to lower 70s with light southerly winds. |

| Comments: Participated in the 2010 Trek 100 for my second consecutive year, which began at Trek world headquarters in Waterloo, Wisconsin. Unlike last year, however, I rode with Gary Sampson. We both completed the 36-mile route. Those electing to ride the 19 or 36 mile routes were started in groups beginning at 9:30 a.m. Gary and I arrived just after 9 a.m. and were in the first group released onto the course. The day started off foggy with comfortable temperatures in the low to mid-60s. The weather forecast suggested a cloudy but rain-free morning, followed by showers in the afternoon. This forecast proved accurate. With the exception of a few sprinkles half-way through the ride, the weather conditions were nice. Skies occasionally showed peaks of sunlight, but were cloudy most of the time. The route was the same as last year's ride. I passed farm fields, lovely Rock Lake (near Lake Mills), and wooded sections with lovely homes near that lake. Compared with last year, I rode 12 minutes longer, 1.3 miles farther, but my average speed was 0.4 mph slower. During this ride, I passed the 4,000 mile mark for my Trek bicycle. |

| Comments: A race against thunderstorms! Home . . . to Cloverdale to Lawrence to Thorn to Schick to Covington to Fox to Madsen to Kuhn to Lies to [West Branch Bike Trail] to Schick to Bartlett to [Wilcox Trail] to Newport to Stearns/Greenbrook to Arlington to Catalina to Arlington to [trail] to Indigo to Cloverdale . . . to home. I started my ride at 2:45 p.m. and ended around 4. Skies began as partly sunny with temperatures in the upper 80s and light winds. However, a line of fast-moving thunderstorms swept in, darkening the western sky for the last 2/3 of my ride. I started hearing thunder around Greenbrook and County Farm Roads and by the time I had turned onto Arlington, winds had become gusty. Skies had become quite dark, and I could have used some lights for my bike. The rain started falling as I crossed from the Indigo path onto Indigo Court. As I raced down Cloverdale, moderate to heavy rain began to fall and leaf clusters were being torn from trees all around me. It was good to get home! |

| Comments: Home . . . to Cloverdale to Lawrence to Thorn to [Starbucks in Dominicks Plaza] to Camden to Covington to Fox to Madsen to Kuhn to Burdette to Pleasant Hill to Great Western Trail (eastbound). Completed GWT-IPP triangle, stopping briefly at Rocket Park in Villa Park and Prairie Path Cycles.
