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.
