I am in Bedford, Pennsylvania. I stopped in Berlin, Pennsylvania. Met a nine year old and a eleven year old...tall and smart for their age. Their grandpa is 62. Dad says "Hi" to them if they check this blog. They have mountain bikes.
Yesterday, I stayed in the Confluence Park. We rode a trail of crushed limestone...fairly decent trail, probably covered 35 miles on it yesterday...eventually it will end up in WA DC. Great ride cept it's a bit boring....there would be a great view if the trees weren't in the way. The hills of the regular roads break up the monotony. The doily is still not thick enough on the seat. We're still a bit sore. I'm off for dinner.

Another update from Dad
We had a cool, nice day with rolling hills. Today was 58 miles and got in at around 1ish. We didn't have to leave until 8ish.We are in New Waterford, Ohio and are staying at the Lake Terrace Camp Ground.
We stopped at a check point and I was standing there waiting for a restroom cause I needed to rest and was reading a sign and sounded it out and said "Hey Aunt Mary used to make those." Now I can't remember what it was called...I bought a whole bunch for everyone" old age is setting in ...I can't think of it. Anyway, it was good.
I got a hair cut yesterday, first one since I left. No comb over!
Stopped for coffee and had a cinnamon roll that would rival Grandma Wandlers... Still having a great ride, can't believe the time is almost over.

A short chat with Dad!
Here's my phone conversation with Dad at around 5:40pm our time and 8:40pm their time....
The days have been good. Yesterday, can't remember where I was...the ride was 91 miles. We rode through town almost all day long. suburbs, city etc. for around 5 or 6 hours. These would be residential areas. Oh, the town was called Sandusky, a place famous for roller coaster rides in the world. Kathy tried them out. I went to bed.
It was interesting riding through downtown Cleveland. Rode along Lake Erie, what a beautiful lake. Came through Cleveland, rolled right by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and didn't even go in we just continued on to the camping area. It was suppose to be a 91 mile day but we rode so fast we put in 102 miles. We are sooooo fast!
Today, we're staying in Burton, Ohio. I slept in late, got up a quarter after seven. Got a haircut and ate and tried to send some email but it didn't work. We are camping in the fairgrounds, I'd say the name of the fair grounds but I'll spell it instead: Geauga County Fair Grounds.
Right now, I'm waiting for my mechanic to oil and clean my bicycle (Mechanic is Kathy *grin).
Everyday the white line stays the same...just gets longer. I'm going to bed early tonight. Goodnight Beth!
