Bowling Green, OH

Hi Everyone,

My turn to drive today, and thought that Bowling Green looked like a place to get internet connected, catch some coffee, some books, and maybe a knitting store.

Unfortunately I don't have new pics of the last few days, as they're on zoe's computer and camera.
And I left my journal in the car. But here's a rough sketch of the last few days. I'll be starting currently and working backwards.

Yesterday, which was Wed. June 16th, we rode from Monroeville, IN to Grand Rapids, OH. It was fun to ride a state crossing border. I biked with Steve and Zoe. We had a great tailwind for 72 miles. Easy to pedal 15 to 20 mph. and the roads were very flat. It was probably one of the easiest days we'll see.

Tues. we road from Dallas Lake, near Ft. Wayne, to Monroeville, which was 70 or so, which is what Eric did. Steve and I did 48 due to rain. Monroeville has a great setup for bikers, free lodging with kitchen facilities, shower, and washer and dryer. plus tv and dvd player. a beautiful park and a great journal they've been logging since 1990. Great to look at people's rides.

The day before that, we rode from Augusta, MI to Scott, IN, amish country. stayed a great private campground on a river. It's been fun to see all the horses and buggies and kids on these Amish Farms. And zoe and i have found strawberries and peas at roadside farms...

We have been blessed with great weather and pretty curteous drivers.... no accidents, no flat tires...

This is week 2 out of 5, and I am losing track of the days, the meaning of a true vacation.
