TdA Day 6

My first ride on rails to trails on the Tunnel hill Trail in Illinois.
Nice part: very shady, tall trees on both sides, quiet, very little traffic.
Strange part: road bike is not design for crushed lime rock surface, I got my very first flat tire after 15 miles. Also, after I went in the tunnel, it was pitch black. I couldn't see anything, but the exit at a distance. I lost my sense of speed and fell over because of going too slow.

Cyclist re-fueling station: "Fountain on Locust" in St. Louis, Mo.
