June 6 - Bowling Green to Paulding, OH (72 miles)

 We did get up and going fairly early, but being a Sunday and going through small towns in OH, we were afraid that we needed to make sure we got a good breakfast on the way out of town.  So basically had to wait til 6am to get food and I think we were on the road by 6:30.

We had mild headwind most of the day today as well, but far, far better than yesterday.  Mr. Google said that we had about 10mph headwind and much of the day today, they ended up being a bit more of a crosswind.  Anyhow, we completed the first 50 miles in about 4 hours.  It was quite hot (about 91 deg), though, so we stopped in Defiance, OH for a lunch and bathed in some AC inside a Subway sandwich store.  

After a cool-down and lunch, we peddled on another 22 miles to our destination - Paulding, OH.  We both felt much better today after a humiliating wind day yesterday and we completed 72 miles.  Staying at Bittersweet Inn, which is a large house sectioned into 5 separate rooms.  Our plan is to get on the road by 5am in the morning, so..... g'night!

  1. Hope the wind or breeze was a blessing in disguise with that temperature.

July 15 - Last day, Snohomish, WA to Anacortes, WA (67 miles)

 We simply enjoyed our last day.  It was 67 miles, beautiful weather and nearly half the ride was on the Centennial trail, a paved rail-to-t...
