| No, I'm not crying; the wind makes my eyes water. |
That heading seems rather cold after such warm hospitality
we received this past weekend. So many of us expressed our joy of being in
Aurora that we kidded “ok, trip’s over; we’re staying here for two weeks!”
knowing we were leaving this morning. Laughter is a good dam against tears. It’s
amazing how attached we can get with the locals, and we always part with
promises to meet again. I’m fortunate to have an added draw in that I offer
Disney to many, so maybe…
I am in the company of good people who rely on good people
along the way, and stay out of the way so good can come of it despite this
sinner. This is an intense experience so full of love that it actually hurts to
move on- we are so inspired by America and some say we inspire them. Neat.

Today’s ride was wonderful. First of all being rested is
great, but north-east Ohio is beautiful. The roads are pretty good, and the
rolling hills make for quite an enjoyable ride. Just enough uphill to provide a
downhill to gain speed for the next uphill. I was able to average over 20 miles
per hour in the first 40 miles, and in some spots, with today’s tail-wind, able
to maintain close to 30 and even reached 40 along a stretch of good road. Then
the last 15 miles were along shaded “rails-to-trails” path, so traffic wasn’t
an issue. I took those at a leisurely pace.
Tomorrow is from here in Ashtabula along Lake Erie, across
the NW corner of Pennsylvania into New York, and we’ll be crossing the state
the rest of this week.
