Much better

Today was very nice (after the thunderstorm). At mile 8 I got onto a well paved bike trail that goes from Columbus to Cincinnati. As a result, there was tons of shade (the sun eventually came out), no traffic, no hills, and the wind was completely muted by the surrounding trees. On top of that, the elevation dropped 600 feet, though it wasn't really noticable. Overall a good day.

I wanted to do more than the 74 miles I rode but was running out of time and available motels (the morning rain plus I had long conversation with a guy who was interested in my saddle, the trip, and who happened to sit on the board of a local savings and loan).

I'm at a wayyyy overpriced Super 8 in Kings Mills OH.

I've never had Arby's before. They make some delicious roast beef sandwiches.

    Hi, you sound more upbeat. Needless to say, glad you are out of New York. Never had an Arby's either (of course, there are many things I never had).

    Keep smiling.

    Love,
