Manitowoc

Hello Everyone, Sorry I haven't gotten to write as
much as I had hoped, but there hasn't quite been the
internet access I had been hoping for. Anyway here is
a quick update:

We are exactly on schedule, though we are debating the
merits of staying so tonight. We could go farther
than planned, go away from the lake and get a lead on
tomorrows big 80 mile day.

Illinois State Beach our first night was good. I
didn't realize how close it was, even by train or
bike.

It was nice to see Kate and Corey in Milwaukee, that
was a very tough day, let myself get a bit dehydrated.

Yesterday was the first day were it was almost all
fields and farms, very pleasant.

Today has also been fields and farms, but with more
views of the lake.

Here goes my internet,
Later
Patrick
