Chuck read the blog and called me and said that I had left out some info in the Hi ho Ohio post, so it's been added. Apparently the people of Ohio have been really fab to the Traveleers and they wanted me to acknowledge it and express their gratitude to all of the wonderful friends they have made.
Yesterday they rode from New Fairfield to Hudson, Ohio, 71 miles. They met a fellow biker who recommended that they take Granger Road which turned out to be quite a nightmare, no shoulders and a lot of traffic, and a fierce east wind. In fact they dubbed it the Road of Death. Well they made it through with out a scratch, (grazie Jesus, Maria e' tutti gli apostoli) and found there way to the Coyahoga River that had a wonderful trail. They stayed with Sue and Ron Stroble, Kathy's cousins, (picture attached) where they are loafing for a day as I write this.
Their hosts have taken good care of the three Travelleers with fab-u-lous meals, and nice soft beds.
This afternoon, Chuck and Matt helped Ron with some business on the roof, while Leah wrote post cards to the folks she had met on the road, and this evening they all watched the debate. Leah observed that the Dems and Repubs are not that much different in their world view. I beg to differ, (that's something I might have said when I was 24. ) I think my illustrious daughter has very radical ideas and I applaud her for that.
Tomorrow they head east again along Lake Erie and on to Pennsylvania (about 100 miles or so).
