It's 5:50 am, I roll into Bob Evans parking lot to meet Steve for breakfast before we leave. I see him and Patrice waiting in the parking lot for me, she came to see us off. The morning is cool, but comfortable riding weather. While inside having breakfast a shower moves through, but the rain stops before we finish eating,,good deal.. After breakfast Patrice snaps a few pictures for us, we say good bye, mount up and we are on our way.
Today's ride will be boring, we have decided to ride the four lane most of today to make time and get a jump westward on our trip. We take route 35 west, and make our way to I 70 west. The sun is coming up and so is the air temperature,,it is a great morning.
In Indianapolis we face road construction and heavy traffic,,this stinks. We take I 74 west out of the construction . A stop for fuel Veedersburg Indiana, and lunch at the Apple tree Restaurant. A cheeseburger, fries and a diet soda and we are on our way.
We make our way to route 67 into Clinton Iowa , 558 miles for the day, we check into a hotel and go to the grocery store. Time to call it a night.
