Day 11 - 89 Miles



* Total = 655
* Cleveland to Woodville

I don't have a ton of information to share today. For the most part it was all about miles. By far my longest day of riding ever. It didn't hurt that this part of Ohio were biking through is totally flat.

The day started waking up in Ms. Yacso's wonderful house (Thanks Again!!). Felt good to roll out of a bed as opposed to standing up from a tent. The first half of our ride followed Lake Road out of Cleveland and along Lake Erie. We even had a bike path for part of the way, which is awesome! It's nice having a lane you don't have to share with cars.

Lake Road is Highway 6 and we took this all the way to 20, than pushing into Woodville. Julie started looking around at a few of the churches and parks when we rolled into town. Ended up talking to a neighbor and they motioned over a police officer who said it would be fine to sleep in the town park.

So, we have a nice spot once again. Running water, picnic tables, and a pavillion. Only thing its missing is a bathroom, but Julie doesn't mind squatting and dudes have it easy when it comes to these matters.


Tomorrow we are going to ride pretty close to the Ohio/Indiana border. Than the next night Julie has some family in Elkhart, IN where we can setup tents in the yard. Chicago is not far away!
