• Weather – perfect day for cycling!!! 60’s all day with broken clouds. Cross/tail wind at about 5mph.

Today was a grinder ride – nothing great to look at, the terrain is pancake flat and the roads were straight for long sections. The cumulative effect is you are pedaling for long stretches without feeling you are making progress!!! It was a speedy day as flat with some helping winds made it easier but it was still 120 miles!!!

Interesting things for the day – my bike computer garmin crapped at the first rest stop, so got a spare but data all messed up, saying only did a 100. Believe me I did 100 on the spare and 21 on the original. Second was there was a freight train blocking the road for about 20 mins before we took a detour. Some local had been sitting there 30 mins before we got there waiting! Last we made it into Ohio, which is flatter than MI.

There were some very fast times by the groups today. The fast guys smoked as they averaged about 22 mph and I was about 17…you can do the math – they start 15 mins after me and arrive about 90 mins before me.

Next up, staying in pancake flat OH for 84 miles to Oberlin!!!
