Cleveland Rocks!!!
Today was a pretty great day! We rode to Cleveland a mere 67, flat miles! The weather was beautiful and the roads were relatively flat, but anything seems flat compared to New York state. Very few of the bikers have many nice words for the state of New York, except for the two natives.
We started out from the church today before 7, a record time for us. We rode past Lake Erie all day. It looks like and ocean, though not as clean or as nice. After 35 miles, we had lunch at a state park. There was a sandy beach where riders played frisbee, skipped rocks into the water and did some sun bathing. We couldn't have asked for a better day.
A few brave souls did jump in the water that was banned for children and the elderly because of pollution and most importantly, e-coli bacteria. Really safe. Jeff decided to jump in the water and then let us bury him in the sand. I think he rode the worst 30 miles of his life with sand in his pants.
We rolled into the city before 2:30 and enjoyed some warm showers and space to sleep. We all made plans for dinner at 4:30 (we are hungry bikers) and almost ate the restaurants out of pizza. A few riders went to the Indians game while others decided to walk to a food CoOp for some organic food...yum!
We are staying at CASE Western Reserve University tonight and were told by one of the people living in the dorm that we have another flat day with only two hills and we drop in elevation by 300 feet. It's also a short day, 60 some miles. I think that we are all excited for tomorrow.
Only three days till we get a break and another mail drop! If you didn't get your package mailed out in time for Friday, don't worry, you can send it to our next mail drop. Just check out our website for the information.
Well, it is way past my bedtime at 10:30. Have a great night and we'll keep you posted!!!
Goodnight All!
