Today I rode 82 miles from Adrian, MI to Lindsey,
OH. For most of the day I owned the
road. From Adrian to Sylvania It was all
farm country with very little traffic.
It was quiet and relaxing. At
Sylvania, I rode on the University bike
trail for about 7 miles which took me to the University of Toledo. Riding through Toledo was a sharp
contrast to my peaceful morning.
Motorists were not giving me much space and there were a few honks. There was lots of of glass and debris on the
road which made me worry about flats, but my Ruffy Tuffy tires lived up to their name. After I finally got
through the city, it was back to the rural backroads for the rest of the afternoon. I ended the day on another bike trail – The
Northcoast Inland Trail. Lindsey was like a ghost town with no restaurants. I found a convenience store that made very good tacos, got a carry out and went back to the trail.
The weather today was good. It was cool and overcast for most of the morning, then it
turned into a beautiful sunny day with light winds. The mid-sixties temperatures were perfect for
riding. I ended the day at a campground
right next to the trail. It has been over 20 years since I have camped...it should be an interesting night.
I was not feeling the love in Toledo.
