Cleveland

Today we left Erie, PA, expecting to ride about 120 miles to Cleveland, OH. We figured it would be a long day, but we also figured that Ohio, being more or less in the midwest, would be pretty flat.

It turns out there are some decent hills in Ohio. On the other hand, it turns out that it was only 96 miles to Cleveland, so I guess it evens out. We arrived to stay with the Hanson family, whose daughter, Ashley, was on the Vanderbilt Rally Team with us. The Hansons made us a big dinner, chicken, pasta, and salad, and then Ashley brought some dessert to supplement the brownies they'd made, chocolate cake and a potent caramel apple gold rush from a local restaraunt.

We got here pretty early, so we've had a lot of time to kick back. Tomorrow we'll visit a local Rotary and hopefully raise some money. Stay tuned.
