Today I rode 118.82 miles. It was a grueling ride with a
stiff headwind from the East. And I rode solo most of today.
We started at daybreak and again rode into the rising Sun
and thick fog.
I believe this is a soybean farm. This was what the scenery
looked like most of today.
Harvesting of the latest crop is picking up steam. It was
quite the experience watching the process in progress.
Lunch today was at Randy’s Bar-B-Que. My riding friend Randy
Kohlhase, M.D. was quite thrilled with this. Michael Moreland, one of my guides
had a Tofurkey sandwich for me. My vegetarian diet has been accommodated quite
well during this trip. I have not lacked for good, healthy and nourishing food.
Here I am seen expressing my thrill as I crossed over from
Michigan to Ohio. Ohio is the Eleventh state on my journey with 5 more
remaining: Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and finally Maine. I want to thank Janis who took this picture with her iPhone.
Seen in this photo with me are Vincent and Nicole Mazza.
Nicole is a fellow rider and Vincent has joined Nicole for a few days to share
some of the experience.
Tomorrow is another big day. Almost 130 miles to get to
Cleveland. I am very tired today. It is not even 9 p.m. and I am falling asleep
as I create this blog. I wonder if I will have any energy left in me after the
ride tomorrow to jot down my day’s thoughts in my blog. The mystery will unravel
in 24 hours. Stay tuned.
