Huron, OH. 68 Miles. Lovin' Ohio!!

I stayed up too late watching reality t.v. last night, Gene Simmon's Family Jewels. and was a bit bleary eyed when I awoken.  The usual for b-fast, steel cut oats, yogurt, raisins, juice, tea.  On the bike @ about 7:00 a.m.  The morning sun was beautiful.  We left Bowling Green headed for Huron, OH 68 miles down the road.  It was a nice ride, again flat, pretty farmland, and nice roads, although we did come into contact with some road work, but no big deal.  The highlight of the ride was a baby cow somehow got out from the grazing area and the electrified fence and was walking down the road.  The bikers ahead of me directed him to the side of the road and then Nancy went up to the farm house to notify the owners.  The cow was so sweet.  He looked like an oreo cookie.  I did manage to get a picture of one his relatives.  Perhaps his Ma' or Pa'.  He seemed scared so I didn't want to approach him. The biggest challenge of the ride was some head wind the last 12 miles or so.  Once into Huron, 4 of us continued on past  Motel 6, and ate lunch at this local joint called Lemmys (named after the Lake Erie Monster)  The owner, was the most friendly guy.  Milano, a fellow Ohio girl, had been there before, and ordered the breaded perch, a delicate white fish caught right in the waters of Lake Erie.  It was incredibly scrumptuous!  I'm glad she likes to share...I ate some of hers, and then some of Sue's as well!.  The owner, even gave us a slice of free chocolate cake for dessert!  So good, and dense!  He was impressed we are riding cross country.  He himself is a 2:32 marathoner!  The people in Ohio are so friendly, kind, and unassuming.  Milano says the cost of living is reasonable too.  I could easily live here.  Tomorrow we ride 55 miles into Cleveland.  Milano and Sue's families are hosting all of us for a cook out at the Yacht Club in Rocky River.  They say we are getting a Police escort in for the last 2 miles!  The H.S. band may even be playing they said!   All to welcome us!  Wow!!  We are looking forward to it!  After that we have an off day.  We will stay right in Cleveland for the night.  The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is on all of our lists.  Oh, the temps have been great, low 80's no humidity.  What a change from last week when our brains were frying on the road.  My total mileage thus far, for 18 riding days:  1,192 miles. Photos tomorrow, my AT&T server isn't covering me out here. 
Love,
