Made it to Willoughby, past East Clevland, almost to Kirtland 104 miles. We started at the Marblehead lighthouse with a nice ride around the penninsula, then headed for the Sandusky Bridge, lots of road debris and got a blowout, switched wheels and headed for a bike shop. Bought some Vittorias- green- went to a park and mounted them. Finally on way, we hit a constuction detour taking us thru Sandusky. Finally back on the shore road found a cycle lane thru Sheffield and Avon along big well groomed homes along th beach. Into Clevland were clean roadways and tall buldings. Going under a railroad bridge we rode on potholed streets and rundown buildings and the sidewalks teeming with people hanging out. After 23 miles we turned up a steep hill- 8-9 percent grade- and immediately came into a well groomed neighborhood with kids playing outfront who waved hello as did some elderly citizens sitting on the porch. Into the rural roads we passed quant ice cream shops with families sitting on the steps. By this time it was late and no campsites near, we found a nearly deserted Ramada for cheap, and got a good nights rest, hot shower, and a good interval swim workout. So by now we are ready to...
Hit the road Jack!!
