Miles Ridden – 116.3
Mileage to date – 3,185.5
Or better yet, another day another century. What’s a “century” you ask? In the bicycling world, a century is 100 miles of riding. Try it sometime. It’s not easy. Next try loading 60 lbs or so of gear on your bike and riding a century. Once you have that under your belt then try doing 3 consecutive days of century rides with a bike full of gear. I am getting tired just typing that!
John crossed the Ohio river today for the final time. He followed the ACA route which is a rather circuitous route around Cincinnati. He is spending the night in Mt Orab, OH which per its Wikipedia page seems to be a totally unremarkable place. He is about 40 miles
easy of Cincinnati. Yesterday John was debating whether he should do a shorter (75 miles) or a longer ride (105 miles) today. He opted for even longer ride by getting lost for a while –
“I spooked a large bird this morning who in turn spooked me and I rode off the shoulder into soft grass. Shortly after, I missed a turn in Concord, KY that added 9 miles to my ride. That’s when I decided to have lunch and evaluate my performance. Fortunately, after eating things improved and I crossed the Ohio river without incident. Overall, the ride today was really beautiful.”
John also reported that –
“Lots of deer and rebel flags today. Not to mention dogs chasing me down the street.”
Sounds fun!
Without further adieu let’s get to the photos –
How could anyone get lost with such clear signage?-
I have ridden 300 miles in 3 days, that looks pretty nice-
