Ignite the Spirit, Chicago-To-Nashville

Hello from Washington Indiana.  We've ridden 270 miles so far.  Stopped overnight in the towns of  Kentland, Terre Haute and Washington. Today's stretch is 75 miles to Owensboro Kentucky.

 The group at the start on Sunday. Leaving from the Chicago Fire Academy.

Todays route Washington

Tomorrow route to Owensboro

So I was off the grid for the first couple of days. We road over a bumpy section of road about 50 miles in on our first day. My phone popped out of my bike bag and hit the road. It was found under a truck. This picture was staged after to illustrate the drama. I'll try to be more careful from now on.

Folks along the route have opened their doors to help us. Our super support staff scouts out locations along our route where we can  take breaks to refuel and rest. About every 10-20 miles.
