Thursday, July 29 - Milford OH to Lancaster OH -
115 miles At David's Home, 7:15A
Two riders and one driver, ready to go. Carl, Lydia (DavidŐs mom) and David in front of
CarlŐs car, our trusty support vehicle for our trek across the time zone. The Foot of the Little Miami

The pact: "No saying 'Are we there yet?'!"
With the Milford historical marker. Historic
milestone on US-22, between Washington Court House and Circleville
It was surprising how many of these have survived,
although the repainting of this one is not true to the original carving. Friday, July 30 - Lancaster OH to St. Clairsville
OH - 107 miles Somerset OH, childhood home of Union
General Phil Sheridan
Church steps on main street made for a fine snack
stop Zanesville OH, minor seat adjustment
Shortly after this we received a cash contribution
from a driver who was soliciting riders for Zanesville's Y-City United Tour, a cycling event
to benefit the United Way. East of Old Washington, OH, on County Road 690
The Amish definitely have transportation figured
out. Bridgewater Rd, East of Middlebourne OH
When US-40 joined I-70 for a stretch, we had to seek
an alternate route. A few miles
later (including several "paved" only in gravel) even roads like
this ran out, and we had to portage 2 miles in the car on I-70 from exit 202
to 204 to where US-40 again went its own way and we resumed our ride. Outside of Hendrysburg OH
Hopalong Cassidy was one of a Lydia's childhood
heroes, so this marker was a welcome surprise. Arrival at the Hampton Inn, St Clairsville
It's amazing how wide the smiles get when there is
air conditioning and hot water at hand. There's work to be done
oh goody, 17 million new emails. Skidmore
Alums find their niche at the Outback:
Now the Thoroughbreds, Skidmore's teams previously were Wombats. Saturday, July 31: St. Clairsville OH to 7 miles
east of Monongahela PA on PA-136 - 80 miles ridden before dark Thunderstorms rolled through from about 8am to 11:30am,
so we waited....
We were in the yellow, just west of the WV
panhandle. Departure from Hotel, St. Clairsville OH - Noon
Carl expresses his dislike for riding in the rain.
About a mile into the ride this day he was almost turned into a hood ornament
by an oblivious woman making a left turn across our path. Blaine OH, just west of Wheeling WV, hometown of ...
A little baseball history
to go with our earlier Civil War lesson. East of Wheeling WV we
crossed into Pennsylvania |
