Today was another really fun day through the back roads of rural Ohio. Today, it was mine and Sean’s day to wear “the jerseys.” They were Brack and Jean Anne’s jerseys from the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine. All of the riders have been taking turns wearing the jerseys for a day as a way for Brack and Jean Anne to be with us. About 25 miles into the route today, we found our daily morning coffee stop in a little town called Bowling Green. It was at a little combination coffee shop / used book store. For a couple of days, we’ve been talking about putting on some of those lick and stick tattoos and today we tried it, however, due to incomplete instructions from Ane and Liz, me and Sean didn’t take the plastic backing off of the tattoo, so it ended up sticking to the plastic and not to us…pretty funny. This morning, I ended up bringing a package of ritz crackers in my back pocket on a whim and Mary happened to bring some cheese so that resulted in a very nice cheese and cracker stop along the route. It was really quite fun. For a good part of the ride today, we were all singing out pretty much any song that we could remember a good part of the words too. I suppose some of the top moments were belting out that song from Titanic through the middle of town and randomly singing “I like big butts and I can not lie.” Todays official mileage was 89 but we decided to just go ahead and make it a century just for fun, so we rode around for a little bit around Sandusky. Tonight we are staying at a campground in Sandusky and it felt really good to go in the pool for a little after dinner. Tomorrow we’re going to try to head out a little early to make it to an Indians game in Cleveland.
