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
Scenic Trail, Milford OH, 8:30A
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

Church steps

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

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

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
