OK, you guessed it, rain. I'm used to having rain during this time of the year, but only in the form of afternoon / evening thunderstorms. These 1st 3 days have been completely wet and cold. In fact today would only reach a high that is only matched by a day 66 years ago! Wet & cold, the worst.
I always say that the weather is as big a part of the thrill of riding as the beautiful sites you see for the 1st time. However, this is made more difficult to believe when riding to places you've seen several times. Like I have Chicago. You guys know I've ridden Scenic 7 Hwy several times lately. Doing so again when the forecast calls for rain is surely more difficult? I love Chicago, it's my favorite city, but this week it was freaking cold!
BUT, I would have never discovered Pontiac, IL if I hadn't been riding to Chicago! That's always the way it works for me when I ride!
This little town is or was created by Hwy 66. I don't know why but I didn't associate Hwy 66 with this ride at all? Pontiac, IL is a cool little town, that has managed to survive on it's promotion of Hwy 66 and all of the murals painted everywhere in the city! It's truly a "change of scenery" in the truest since. The food, people, and ice cream was excellent. Check out the pics.
