Princeton, Illinois

We spent the day cycling across Central Illinois with the Sunday drivers and motorcyclists enjoying a sunny day.  The traffic was light as we spent most of the day on the Walter Payton Highway.   As you would expect, it is US 34.

With relatively light winds and just a few nagging rolling hills, we were able to average 13.1 mph, which is not bad on a fully loaded bike.

The highway honored another well known American, born and raised in this area.

Besides that, it was a quiet day with lots of farmers fields.
