The day started off cool enough to wear my Sherpa jacket for the first time but that didn’t last and we were in the high eighties shortly. Ohio’s farm land stretched out and at first as flat but eventually became rolling and late a bit hilly going through some narrow woodlands. The farms were spread out all along the route interspersed with small towns and occasionally a large village. Not much traffic early on but later large motorcycle groups constantly passed us
We stopped by a magnificent 3 dimensional painting on a large building celebrating pumpkin time in Ohio and later many photos at a large pumpkin market. I have never seen such a variety nor such large pumpkins.
The afternoon saw more rolling terrain and some long gradual climbs. Good training for the next 3 days of up and down terrain, which will test our stamina.
For the day I knocked off 76 miles and Frank did 120. Hope he saved something for the WV hills. We crossed into WV around 1640 and checked into the BLENNERHASSETT hotel established over a century ago and on the National Register of Historic Places.
Hope to get a good nights rest for the hills of West Virginia.
It won’t be long before we put our feet and bikes in the Atlantic.
GO BISON!!!!!!!!!!!
