June 2 - Perry Township to Cleveland (44 miles)

 Relatively easier day today - only 44 miles.

We started the day very early, getting our camping gear put away and breakfast eaten and ready to get to Cleveland to catch a baseball game.  But.... rear flat tire again.

This time, I was able to find the culprit - a piece of glass lodged into my rear tire.  I pulled it out, but after having 2 flats in 3 days, I've decided to swap out my Maxis Overdrive tires and replace them with Schwalbe Marathon.  Found a cycle shop in Cleveland that can supply them by Friday (I'll pick them up and install them on our way out of town).  

Aside from the flat tire, all went smooth.  We were worried about rain, which was in the forecast.  But we only hit light sprinkles.  We opted to skip lunch in favor of finding some great Tai food in Cleveland (late lunch) followed by a super good Barbecue later tonight.

Oh, one other thing... I ran into my big brother, Mark and his wife Jenny today.  Funny thing, we were both cruising around Mentor, OH and just sort of bumped into each other ;). Well, it wasn't quite that accidental, they had already planned a vacation (Jenny grew up in Mentor), and our route happened to take us through at exactly the same time they were visiting.  We did a photo-op and were on our way!
