Day 34 Wooster to Niles, OH, 90 miles
Here we all are at Mill Creek Park in North Benton. It was a nice surprise to have Chas and Judy show up. It was a typical Ohio summer day - overcast, temperature in the low 70's.
A good day for riding but not for swimming.
It was no contest. Ohio wins by a mile for having the worst roads between here and California. I thought my bike would shake apart. Potholes big enough to take a bath in. Tracey was busy marking up the route to change it for next year - good luck with that.
Had a nice phone conversation with Susan Stoddard. Susan thought we were coming through Alliance tomorrow. She was sure that Barbara gave here the wrong info. They'll have words about that.
It's 8:40 - way past my bedtime. Jim and Sue kept me out late drinking and dining at Olive Garden. I had the eggplant parmagiana (sp).
Happy Birthday to Sparkle!
beaver barrett was confused about mill creek park and naturally i followed along....what a group.......jimbo, sue, stella and the great chas.......i would have shown up too if it wasn't for this darn leg
ReplyDeletei bet chas drank his homemade wine all the way home......poor stella
thanks professor barrett for some more bad info...you started talking about the tribe and the browns and then i just kind of put you on speaker while i cleaned the kitchen and emptied the dishwasher and folded clothes, once in a while i would say "yes, i know what you mean"...........
have fun in erie, is that some kind of a party place?....
your voice sounds more like normal....
so sue, what is coming up in erie?
Rest well in Erie Sam; it was so good to see you. You looked great. Later. J&S
ReplyDeleteYou look great Sam, not near as crotchety as that old guy to the left of you in the picture!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my solo and no, my knees were not shaking; both legs were shaking from top to bottom...
Lou
What a great pic! So jealous! Hope you all had a fab time! Miss you!
ReplyDeleteHi! It's always good to see pictures of family members and friends together -- Jim, Sue, you, Jude, and Shreck in Mill Creek Park -- what a line up. Who says you can't go home again?
ReplyDeleteThat ought to keep your spirits up.
So, I take it you'll soon get a look at Lake Erie and maybe some other lakes when you travel through upstate New York? That should be a little different and you'll likely be peddling away from the real heat. You can also tell your stories about Geneva On The Lake (Ohio) and Cedar Point -- bet your posse' can't wait to hear you get started on something like that. Make sure you start every story with, I remember when...
Be the weiner and keep your head in the game --
Old Dick
shrek......that was a good one old dick!...i hope chas doesn't find out!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! Wish I could have been there. I want to hear about Cedar Point...
