Navagating in and around East St. Louis was not nearly as bad as we expected. However it was a bit challanging in the road hazard department. The shoulders were littered with all manor of sharp metal bits, and glass, and construction rubble. Amazingly we had no flats-- excellent!
Our goal today was Jerseyville, but it was already nearly 1pm when we made it to the outskirts of Alton at highway 67...due in part to my faulty road map! The temperature was already in the 90's, and our nerves were a bit rattled from the urban navigating, so we decided to call it a day and take the following day off.
I've checked the weather, and it looks like we'll be enjoying a tail wind for the next several days! This is like winning the lottery!
