We stopped off in Pontiac, IL to visit a bakery Milt had recommended and load up on maps at the Pontiac visitor's center. Pontiac is a very nice town.
Will suffered from heat exhaustion/dehydration/space madness around lunch time. A quick stop at the Towana bar and grill fixed him right up.
We pressed on to Normal, IL and stopped at a bike shop there for some spare spokes (I broke a spoke on day 2 and only had one spare).
We encountered a lot of motorist hostility today, which we hadn't since riding through the south suburbs.
We stopped to chat with Carlton of McClean, IL and he offered us use of his lawn for the night. He even brought us out a gallon jug of water!
We have rode: 70 miles today/185 so far/2315 to go.
Tomorrow we're going to ride the short way down to Springfield, IL, do laundry, tourist things, and stay in a motel.
