Long Day

We biked 84 miles today and we battled a head wind all 84 of them resulting in a really long day. We got to Freemont, Ohio at 8:30 pm and we rode the last 30 minutes in the dark and in heavy traffic! Whooooeeee that makes me nervous!! It looks like from the weather report we are going to have a 5 mph head wind all day tomorrow as well. We will be staying at a Warm Shower host tomorrow on the shore of Lake Erie. Talked to the guy on the phone tonight and he is excited to host us and chat about our adventures. We are going to try and get started by 7:30 am so we don’t end up on the dark again at the end of the day. We will be in the Cleveland area tomorrow with lots of cars trying to run over me! One of the sorta funny things is that while riding in bigger cities in traffic when I stop at a red light people in the cars next to me start talking to me about our trip when they see all the bags on the bicycle. Usually starts with “where you going?” “Maine?!” “Wow” “where ya from?” “Oregon!!””you gotta be kidding me!” Then the light changes and at the next light the conversation continues. Hard enough for me to navigate in that traffic with my wobbling tendencies without having to carry on a conversation as well! Well, I think I will call it a night. Super tired tonight. Love you all.
