Clouds started rolling in and I didn't want to risk getting wet. So I decided to skip PB Boulangerie again. I stopped to eat a full bar and a gel. Temperature was cooler, and I had more than enough water to make it back. The rest of the hilly part wasn't as hard as I expected. I think the 30 mm tires and lower tire pressure made it less miserable riding on the bumpy Old Country Rd. I didn't waste my energy sprinting the mostly flat and straight 6A from Truro to Ptown like I always had been doing before :)

It was only 98.4 miles when I got back to my place, so I had to loop around the town a bit. I knew there'd be a lot of traffic on Commercial St. The reason I didn't take Bradford is because of the nasty hill at Prince St where I could be easily blocked by a car not knowing what to do / yielding to pedestrians as that is a busy intersection and I had to unmount / mount on a steep hill. But the part of Commercial St past the Coast Guard station was also busy with several cars not knowing what to do. I got really upset because I really wanted to get 100 miles done.

Finally it was 100 when I got to the parking lot of Herring Cove Beach. and I turned around and take Bradford back to my place. What a day!

The crash occurred when a vehicle left a road “for unknown reasons,” traveled through a field & slammed into the program’s building around 3:20PM CT Monday – striking several people – before exiting the other side, police said in a Tues morning news release.

Killed were 3 girls from #Chatham – Alma Buhnerkempe, 7; Kathryn Corley, 7; & Ainsley Johnson, 8 – & an 18-year-old Springfield woman, Rylee Britton, the Sangamon County coroner’s office said Tues. 6 other children were taken to area hospitals, one of whom was in critical condition Tues morning, police said.

A #CarCrash into an after-school program building in central #Illinois this week – that killed 4 people ages 7–18 & injured 6 other #children – does not appear to have been a targeted attack, Illinois State Police said Tues.

Still, the cause of Monday afternoon’s crash into the #YNOT after-school program in #Chatham is under investigation, state police said as the community mourns & awaits answers about what led up to it.
