Friday July 20th  was a 94 mile ride from Madison WI to Grand Prairie Il. It was a fairly uneventful day riding past corn fields and soy beans. We took it slow and easy as we have a 106 mile day tomorrow and we are saving energy. We had a guest in camp today. A rider from 2008 named Jim greeted us at our checkpoint with frozen blizzards from Dairy Queen and an ice chest full of beer for our arrival in camp. We had a great time talking with him about his experience on the ride and he was extremely jealous that he could not go with us now. We stayed in a private campground that has seen better days. The water in the showers smelled like sulphur and the area was rundown. Glad it was only one night.
