Kelly's First Century into Coal City

What a day Friday was. Kelly McCall, our Big Rider who uses a hand crank did her first century - 109 miles. The picture on the road is with Jodi Matakovich on an earlier day, and the yellow jersey is appropriate for her big century. For a while she was riding with "the kids" who formed a V and road like geese fly. Kelly is supported separately from the rest of the group by her mother Carol, and that makes the ride work for her. She arrived in Coal City in time for pizza (which lasted well into the next day, and I've even seen some two day old boxes of the stuff.) The Coal City camp site was notable for two attributes - showers that were at quite and distance and weren't in all that good shape and the noisiest bunch of revelers I've ever heard in an adjacent camping area. After listening to their loud and tasteless music, screams, and swearing until 11:38, I called the local police who did a wonderful job of getting them quiet. Several probably underage drinkers took off running and ran up against at least one of our tents. Quiet for the rest of the night, but I have to admit that the riders were not their usual quiet selves at 5 a.m.
