Sunday June 14, 2009

Today Tasha and I are going on a 50 mile bike trip. We get up at early so we can get to Burton, Ohio before the start 0800 start of the ride. The ride was called "A Sunday in June". It was put on by a Cleveland area bike club. There were over 1,000 riders. It was well organized. The ride is through Amish farm country. The terrain is rolling with green fields and many nice Amish farms. The weather was sunny and cool, perfect weather for bike riding. 1/2 way through the ride we got lemonade and cookies and after the ride we had a pasta dinner. It was a very pleasant day. Like Michigan, Ohio is thought of as a rust-belt state but Sunday's ride showed Ohio's other side, beautiful rural areas. The town of Burton is a picture postcard Midwestern rural town.

For dinner Tasha and I ate outside at a local tavern. It was very pleasant. I get to bed by 8PM because Monday is a busy day.
