Started out around 8:30   Am after Tom made eggs with bacon for breakfast. Seen my sister Dawn off to work said by to Tom and on the road I went. Today was a tough day riding. Alot of rolling hills and a couple good size ones for me. Jumping on my bike with out any conditioning showed today. Rode just over 30 miles and I could feel it in my legs. I did not get to the PA line but made it to Geneva. Total 105 miles.  With more conditioning could do it in 2 days. I really enjoyed being back out riding. Hopefully can work some more time in before vacations start. Pam drove out and picked me up. Getting some grass cut today. Thanks for following me! PMA God Bless

Left my granddaughter Taylor's and her boyfriend Pat in Lakewood around 8am. Great weather to start with. No rain mainly overcast the the day. Did stop and take pictures of downtown and Rock Hall of  Fame. Also Johnny Cash touring bus. The Lake shore was a very nice ride.once you pass MLK Dr there were some beautiful homes. Never knew about this area. I did ride 30 miles today. Hoping weather and my stamina hold up to do at least 50 miles tomorrow! Hopefully rain holds off again. I did get rained on the last 4 miles of my ride today. When I wS riding looked in my mirror and seen a white pulled to side of road and just got my rain jacket on before it poured down. My sister Dawn boyfriend Tom called me and told me if it gets bad call him and he would pick me up in his truck. Did not get that bad so finished my ride. When I got here Tom had towels for me. Had a mat down in living room to put my bike. Unloaded and took a bath, felt good to soak some today. Finished up went downstairs T
