We enjoyed our ride today. The weather was almost perfect - highs in the upper 70's with partly cloudy skies. We were very comfortable. It was nice not to have to watch storm clouds gather and wonder how fast we could ride.
The panniers packed better after my winnowing yesterday. I don't think there was any discernible difference in their weight, but I KNEW they were lighter!
On the way out of Kewanee, we took a short ride around downtown.
A few miles north of Kewanee, we saw this marker about the Great Sauk Trail.
There's much left of the trail to see.
Another pretty town we went through today was Geneseo.

Past Geneseo, we saw a few other interesting things.
Kerry thought this might be an ethanol plant.
Just before reaching Moline, we crossed the Rock River.
Our hotel this evening is right on the Mississippi River. Tomorrow, we are riding north on the Great River Trail and the blog will be awash with river pictures, so I'll not post any tonight.
Kerry here... But I will!
Today's ride: 49 miles (79 km)
Total: 445 miles (716 km)
