619.1 Chicago Outskirts Memorial

Clinton IA to Naperville (Lisle) IL, Jun 18

"...I was on fine stone roads by this time, and only 25 miles from Chicago. I pedaled Into the Windy City in five and a half hours the next day, June 19. As may be imagined, I was tired after pedaling 25 miles, and not only physically weary, but I was mentally dejected because of the accident to my motor. On the outskirts of the city I sat down on the curb to rest and meditate, and I was aroused by a local rider who, fancying I was in trouble, stopped to offer assistance...."

Waypoint Today:  Wyman was pedaling along the road from Lisle, where he spent the previous night. Somewhere along now Ogden Ave Wyman stopped for a quick rest on the curb.

Wyman likely asked the "local rider" to take this snapshot of hm siting on the curb, "meditating" about his mechanical troubles.
