Day 18, June 7th, Cleveland to Avery, OH. Mileage today was 57.55 and the ride was basically flat. The weather was perfect at about 70 degrees and bright sunshine. The ride out of Cleveland took us along Lake Erie through some very nice neighborhoods like Edgewood and Lakewood. After leaving the city the ride continued to be flat and the small towns have built bike lanes along Route 6. Our first stop was in Lorain, OH, where we stopped at the City Park on the lake. There was a group playing bocci ball on the lawn and there was a beautiful rose garden. A member of the Lorain Visitors Bureau, Barb Bickle, stopped us as we were taking a short break. She did a short interview and told us about all the bike friendly things Lorain County has done to promote tourism. You can see the interview at BackRoadsandbeaches.blogspot.com.  There was also a nice restaurant overlooking the lake where we ate lunch. A fellow rider, Sam, that we met in Conneaut several days ago, rode into the park as we left. This might be a place for a long weekend bike tour for the KirkWood Krew and any who would want to join. We made great time to Huron so we pressed on to Avery. Tomorrow we head to Bowling Green, OH.
