Our day started at 4am with coffee brewed in our Inn room along with protein bars - just enough to give us the fuel to pedal 22 miles to Monroeville, where we enjoyed a 'real' breakfast. Our idea to beat both the heat and the wind paid off. We did have a bit of rain, but more than anything, if felt good - kept us cool.
We completed 61 miles (finished Section 9 of the Northern Tier Route, as well as passed thru Ohio) before noon which made us feel like we could have extra time to relax today. The next several day poses challenges for us to find both food and places to sleep because the route is taking us to some pretty remote places in Indiana, where there just isn't a whole lot of services available.
But we've gained quite a bit of confidence that we can plan for it and be fine...
Wear a pride flag and drive by Pence’s house since you’re in IN.
ReplyDeleteCam n Jake. Love the image you both are painting; our free and open country ......interesting and diverse.
ReplyDeleteNice move switching to early start. Should give more daylight to enjoy destination.
Must be nice to eat yummy stuff and
just burn it off.
Are there other bikers enroute?
reroute?
ReplyDeleteJake's hand is on top with the cooler colorful glove.
There is a tiny frog in his hand near the riding gloves. You really have to zoom in to see it!
ReplyDeleteI could see the tiny frog. How did you spot it? Congratulations on Ohio. You guys are doing awesome!
