R66 Day 42 - Wet Ride in Central Illinois

It was a short but wet ride today. We spent a couple of hours in a McDonald’s waiting for a break in the rain.

Bethany WallAnother great shot. (I'm curious whether you encountered many loiterers in the area, given the prominent "no loitering" sign... !!)

About half the ride today was on the Constitution Trail, an excellent rails to trails path in and around Bloomington.
