Day 53 Austinburg, OH to Findley Lake, N

76.3 miles, 2576 feet. Our route this morning had us on a great trail for about 5 miles. Ohio trails are really nice for the most part. Since it was Saturday, we had the roads mostly to ourselves for the several hours. The route followed the coastline of Lake Erie even though we couldn’t always see the lake.

We crossed into the northwest corner of Pennsylvania around mile 20. Much of our ride was lots of residential areas with some farms. Public restrooms were hard to find.

The urban trails through Erie, PA were a bit tricky, but we managed to navigate them. After lunch the route was more rural with lots of grape vineyards and nursery farms. Shortly before our hotel we crossed in to New York State. Our overnight is on Lake Findley. We are watching the weather for tomorrow as it looks like rain.Les mer
