05/14/24 One more time! I loved the Hobbit cyclist camp and hope that you can enjoy these pictures!
05/14/24 And more pictures! The last flood a month ago only went halfway up the roof support. One flood actually went over the roof! Someone didn’t pay attention to the weather rock.
05/15/24 Pictures of the ride into Pittsburgh.
05/16/24 Our day off the bikes in Pittsburgh involved eating gigantic sandwiches at Primanti’s; shopping for necessities at REI, and washing clothes. We even passed the Greek Orthodox Church where Karen’s parents were married!
5/15/24 For the evening, we walked to an incline station, got lifted up to the neighborhood above us, and enjoyed a good meal with our friends Jim from Oregon and Peter from Holland.
5/17/24 Time to leave PIttsburgh and head west on real roads. And so it started to rain. We were lucky to ride trails for about half the day. But in the rain. We stayed at a church in Wheeling WV that night. We’ve been in Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginiainia, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
5/18/24 The rain was lighter today, butt now we start climbing the hills of eastern Ohio. Big, rolling hills. You climb hard over one, and then roll down to meet the next big hill. To make matters worse, a road was closed and the detour had bigger hills. The tandem team was amazing!
05/18/24 Another church, this time in Byesville, Ohio. Reminds us of our friend, Byron. Hi, By!
05/18/24 Two days in churches means two days without showers. Ugh! So our brave leaders got on the phone and set up showers for us at a State Campground twenty miles away. We all jumped in the van and came home clean! In this heat and humidity, we need a shower after biking all day!
