Total: 3709 km
We left Madison on quiet country roads, which took us a bit into the hillside. Riding was pleasant; smaller farms and a somewhat "european" landscape. It changed completetly in the early afternoon when we approached the Chicago area. Lots of traffic, distressed drivers (some of them obviously called the police to get us off the road) and really bad roads - potholes in which a 4-year old child could get lost. Reaching Evanston, our destination for that day, we deserved some luxury: a hotel instead of a campground, the only time on our trip.
In July/August 2011, I'm going to make the great tour across the United States: West Coast to East Coast on bicycles, together with a bunch of devoted cyclists. We have 25 riding days to complete 5000 km. We'll use the best machines you can get for this: velomobiles, faired recumbent bikes. We will attract lots of attention, have lots of fun, and we'll DO it.
