We cycled to a big breakfast and sat amongst many other seniors regulars. We expected to ride in the rain all day. Fortunately that didn't happen until... Steven and I, Peggy went a different route rode along the Historic Rte 40. There were many sections of old bridges from this route along our journey and I like seeing how the Ohioan's respected their history by saving parts. It's really cool seeing the old sections and there has got to be a book on the subject. When the road was built concrete was a new invention for a road surface. Brick layers protested that brick should be used. We met a lady in a beautiful st in the town of Graitot, she told us that history of her little town. She said it's pronounced Gray sheet. The folks in Minnesota pronounce their town of the same name Gra-shit. After stopping at 28 miles for a 28oz Gatorade that I down in about 7 minutes we took off for our remaining 5 miles. We got drenched. Do to the holiday weekend we were lucky to get a Red Roof Inn to stay at near the highway. Goodbye Buckeye Lake. We won't get to see ya. Tried Bob Evan's for dinner for the first time. 11.4 mph today, some climbing 1500'
Are your panniers waterproof?
ReplyDeleteHi Jodi, The previous post was from Tracy
DeleteMy panniers are water resistant. If I'm careful with the zippers they are mostly dry. Most everything I have is protected by heavy duty ziplock bags.
ReplyDeleteWow….11.4 MPH fully loaded. I think I did that the other day with nothing but me on the bike! Fun that you have met so many locals and learn about the towns and some history. Fun. Linda
