That reminds me I never got a pineapple last week. Maybe I'll grab one after work tomorrow

Here is the photo. The students were studying aeronautics, hence the shirts. No way to really narrow down the area a lot. I did find my old map from that part of the trip. We crossed the Illinois at Henry and rode through Wenona, Cornell, Odell, Cullom and Ashkum. I do remember that I went off route a bit to Streator and got a motel that night, so it must have been taken west of probably Ancona.

The hummus I've been making has not been right. Using limes, as lemons are a hard to find item. There are lemons in the house, tahini in the fridge, and cooked garbanzos on the stove.

But I have only a vague recollection of crossing the river at Henry. Just looked at the bridge on Google Maps.
I am assuming I was with a few others of the group and that we crossed together.

Some fun facts here on a fun fruit.
MoAlpha did you ever display a pineapple upon the completion of a voyage on the high seas? (Bonus: they prevent scurvy
)

Whew! A word of advice to the Zwifters that have recently started riding with C. Cadence: yeah, don't let your mind wander through the Titan's Grove section. This morning, I jumped in mid-climb, which is pretty sedate with CC, but, as I was fiddling with giving Ride Ons or something, we crested, there was the surge, and I found myself instantly split on the downhill and it took some ass-bustin' to catch back on to the pack.

Were you in the rollers? I find those confounding, switching back and forth between +7% and -7%.
