Another long ride in Ohio. It was raining (ever so lightly) when we left this morning. Fortunately it was overcast again all day which kept the heat index down.
The terrain continued to be hilly but fortunately the hills were the first half of the ride today. In fact there was a 2 mile climb just as we left the hotel. My legs took a long time to loosen up today. So the ride was not a fast one. Well mine are never fast but this was slower than normal.
The roads were the worst ones on the trip. There was an area that was so broken up there was no way to avoid the holes. I am surprised my bike is still in one piece. The drivers were the worst I have encountered on the trip. There were several close calls today.
There was a lab-mix dog that several of us "rode with" today. It was not interested in chasing us but only in running along with us. It ran with one rider for 5 miles. Then later we came by and it ran with us for 3 miles. We tried to go fast enough to outrun it but couldn't do it. I hope it found it's way back home.
One more day of riding and we have a day off. It is hard to believe we will be in Erie, PA, tomorrow. This adventure is almost over.

Enjoy the rest of your trip. It is amazing that you just think you have started and now you are almost finshed.
ReplyDeleteBe safe and one pedal stroke at a time.
It still feels like I am riding with the group. I know you are enjoying every minute out there.
