All posts for the day July 21st, 2014

Monday
Broad Ripple IN to Celina OH
111 Miles
Travel Time 11 hours
Saddle Time 8:11 hours

Yesterday I forgot to post week 5 results
Week 5- 714 miles
Total through 5 weeks 2,686 miles

Got started today on a beautiful bike path for first 10 miles, then worked my way all the way over to OHIO. Was able to take a picture of Welcome to Indiana sign on the way out of the state since there was none on the way in.

Passed a beautiful barn being built by an Amish family, followed a mile up the road with a Catholic Church designed differently than any other churches I had seen thus far, and then another mile up the road was the three story turkey housing unit.

Staying with Hans and Joan in their lovely house. Just had a great home cooked bahmi (Indonesian pasta dish) followed by homemade brownies!

Good news is that I am ahead of schedule. The bad news is that I can’t plan a welcoming party in LBI. My arrival date is too up in the air with not knowing how hilly the terrain will be in PA. And as I learned with my ride into Indianapolis, I didn’t know until Saturday afternoon that I wouldn’t make it there until Sunday. So I will have a celebration in Westchester after I get home.
