Sunny, warm, windy (WNW @ 10-15 mph) but relatively low humidity evening greeted Wally, Lee, Renee, Rick S and Luis. Essentially straight west routing from KHMS through Hinckley with a turnaround at Howison & McGirr Roads. Group stayed together for the most part on outbound slog to the rest stop. Had to portage around the RR track construction on Somonauk Road into Hinckley. Luis was fighting a loose seat clamp but was able to fix at the BP water stop. Eastbound stretch allowed everyone to open up though Lee flatted on the pea-gravel portion of McGirr between Somonauk and Hinckley Roads. I stayed back with Luis for the remainder. Solid effort at a good overall pace under reasonable summer conditions. Wally and I met Professor Gene at Geneva Ale House afterwards.
