Day 41: From Burton, OH to New Waterford,OH: 59 miles

So today was a short ride, although I did rank up some bonus miles by missing a turn and taking a wrong turn so I ended up cycling around 65. Not a whole lot to report, lots of rolling hills and we should start some serious climbing tomorrow as we enter Pennsylvania. We had to do a short ride because we are getting into more remote areas with less places to stay so it was either ride 120 miles or do 2 60 mile days. I'll take the latter. The whole group stopped 5 miles outside of camp in Columbiana and enjoyed a second breakfast at a small diner--oatmeal for me and chili, mac n cheese, and chili dogs for some of the others. We are camping at Terrace Lake campgrounds which are less than luxurious and I am currently at Horst's Deli, an Amish run sub and pizza shop with friendly workers willing to let me use their wireless. I am 0.8 mi from camp but it started to pour so now I am figuring out how to get back and not get wet in time for dinner which is in 45 minutes. Maybe it will stop raining in the next 10 minutes.

Since today's post is short and it was rainy all day so I didn't take my camera out (didn't miss anything) I figured I'd show you guys some pics regarding our daily routine.

This is the cue sheet—has mileage, directions, and most importantly fun places to stop



This is the white board—has the quote of the day, the weather forecast, the destination, the mileage, and any extra notes.

  1. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift. That's why they call it "the present"!
