Spectacular clear February day with cool temps to start (34°F) rising to near 50°F at the end. Rode with Wally, Steve and Frank. SW winds made for a tough slog through open areas on outbound but offered refreshing push on return. Roads were in excellent condition for the most part, with major exception at Base Line Road. Missed the south detour off of Griswold Springs as we approached Plano (looked like a long driveway) and ended up crossing IL 34 @ Railroad Street. Also, Main Street bridge in Plano is out as they are widening from one lane to two (hope it is finished by SWD 2020!). Felt GREAT to be outside for a change. Legs tired after Jack's indoor beat-down the day before, but slowly acclimated to the conditions. Star 34 offered a solid, inexpensive breakfast with excellent service.
