June 3rd Muscatine,Iowa - Henry, Illinois 125 miles

“Wind Gods are favorable today…corn fields as far as the eye could see” –Dick

Out biking today in his home town area was a man named Frank Beshears. As we got to talking, I learned that he is a cancer survivor, a ‘pro-follower’ and very interested in what we were doing. Frank had Hodgkins lymphoma and was one of the first 150 people to receive a stem cell transplant. He loves the bike and plans to bike across country in ’09 lymphoma.

Today we finally got to cross the Mississippi River on our way out of Muscatine and into Illinois. A nice flat ride all the way into the Henry Harbor Inn overlooking the Illinois River. A very lovely Leanne was so nice to sponsor us a room at this Inn that her and her late husband built.
