Shortly after entering Illinois we hit a few road blocks.  A crash (rider is ok!), a broken fork, and a flat tire led to some momentary chaos, but all's well now!  Our team did a great job pushing through these minor hiccups and really pulled together to get us through Illinois and into Indiana.  Even with all the heat and humidity in the midwest, our last exchange clocked an average speed of 24.8 mph, which keeps our overall average at 23.5 mph and still on course for a new record!
