Unfortunately - that was the trip out

Had to climb to 10.5k to get out of the bumps, and got a 65-80kts GS.

Western Wisconsin has some small hills, so I knew that would probably
accentuate the turbulence. It did - ended up being the worst
turbulence I have experienced. Descending through 5 and down, I hiit
a few bumps that sent things (including me) to the roof.

Winds were ~330 @ 30 with higher gusts when I got down.

today.

Flew home from Western Wisconsin (to Chicago) today, and finally broke
200kts (in level flight): 13.5kft, 202Kts groundspeed - in a Cherokee
180!
