By the Dawn's Early Light

No Internet yesterday or today, so I got smart and set up a personal hot spot.  Let's hope it's strong enough to post my blog.
Yesterday was another hot day, so we rode out at 6:30 to get in as many miles of our 84 mile day as possible in the cooler air.  We crossed the Ohio border, had a good second breakfast at Mom's Cafe, and rodrode shady trail before the heat got too bad.  We had about 20 miles without shade and sought refuge in an air conditioned McDonald's for lunch, as it was too hot to have the truck waiting a couple of hours for all of us to pass by.  Cooled off and with a resupply of water and ice, the final 24 miles, with shade and a tail wind, weren't too bad.  We arrived in Fremont, Ohio about 3 pm, just before the rain and did not visit the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library.

Morning sky as we were getting on our bikes.

Ohio has some very good bike trails.  Note the edge and lane markings on the Wabash Cannonball Trail, a veritable bike expressway.

The very low and shaly Huron River.
