Day 51 Fremont to Westlake, OH

82.78 miles, 1028 feet. With the threat of rain this morning, I packed the go pro and put my phone in a water proof bag, so there are not many photos today. The first 45 miles were mostly on the North Coast Inland. Depending on what county you are in depends on whether it is paved or not. By mile nine, it started to rain and we were pretty wet, so a bunch of us took refuge in a Burger King. Several riders had flat tires which slowed the group down a bit.

We met our friend John Ilenin at a trailhead shelter at Kipton. He had ice water and homemade cookies waiting for us. Lunch was a few miles later.

Our last 28 miles featured a pretty good tail wind for most of the way and we found our route taking us along the Lake Erie shoreline. You will have to believe me when I tell you that the mansions along the lake were amazing. Tonight we are in Westlake, OH and tomorrow we pedal onward towards Cleveland and beyond.Read more
