Outside of Moline, Illinois
Day 25: Chester to the Cape
After waking up in the cabin at the Eagles club and heading out, I headed out through Chester, home of Popeye.
I ran across Jodie’s farmhouse Cafe and stopped in for breakfast…
Heading down south out of town in the overcast, windy, and slightly chilly weather. Looks like the rain is going to hold off another day, so time to put on some miles.
The goal today:

Day 24: Quote of the Day
A man told me today, ” I’ve had two bad marriages. The first one, she left me. The second one, she won’t leave me. She’ll be waiting for me when I get home.”
Day 24: Ducks Eat for Free at Subway
… Er, I mean, cyclists stay for free at the Eagles’ Club in Chester, Illinois (the home of Popeye.)
Everybody is super nice here in southern Illinois.
Craig and Brandi who told me about the Eagles club in Chester. Jay and Lynn at Lynn’s bar who told me about the bridge being out and camping at the lock and dam. Bartender, Liz, has been really welcoming here at the Eagles’ Club too.
Looking forward to a warm shower after dinner.
Day 24: Why?
I am bicycling for the same reasons the birds fly or the fish swim.
Day 24: moonlight on my mind
With the temperature staying warmer, a full moon, and the promise of a cabin to stay in for free with a shower I push into the dark; Dylan’s Mr Tambourine Man playing on my speaker…
Day 24: holy pandemic batman
Illinois caverns are closed. I talked to the dept of natural resources and they said even they don’t go in there anymore due to the condition of the bats. Oh well.
