Riding through Indiana

The last two days have been spent riding from Crawfordsviille to Indianapolis to Richmand Indiana. Since Indiana is not a very wide state, tomorrow we will cross the state line to Ohio. Two weeks from today the ride will be over and everyone will have gone their separate ways. That is hard to believe. However we have a lot of miles to cover and states to go through before that day comes. So it is time to stay focused on the journey.

The story of Indiana is corn fields and soy bean fields. The farms all seem to be well taken care of with very neat and tidy farm yards. Today we saw the first of the Amish farms. At one there was a baby colt that could not have been more than a day or two old. I did not see any of the buggies on the road bit saw evidence of them having been there. I also saw a team of two horses pulling a large wagon.

So many weeks ago I road with Janel from Ohio. She was only on the trip for two weeks. Today she did a surprise sweep down and found us on the road. It was so much fun to see her again.

The weather forecast is not promising for the century ride to Marysville tomorrow. But it will be what it is.

  1. Yesterday (Saturday) while you were riding in Indiana, I rode a long hilly 46 miles here in Wisconsin. I was riding with you yesterday in spirit, if not in person. (Theoretical physicists call that quantum entanglement, I think.) Had a great ride yesterday, and thought of you often then. Have a great ride today!
