An easy ride today from Buckeye Lake, Mt Sterling to Wilmington, Ohio, the Caesar Creek State Park, 52 miles and 1100 ft of elevation gain. The weather gods were with us, it wasn’t raining in the morning and it did not rain for our entire ride! It was cool, in the 50s, but no wind so a great ride today. Also relatively flat- the rolling hills of the past several days have been replaced by flatland- a lot of large farms interspersed with the occasional small town. Very beautiful country. And not a lot of cars on the road made for a very peaceful ride. Tim got in early and encountered an hours worth of rain but the rest of us just missed it! We all stopped at various places. I stopped at Jeffersonville, 20 miles in, and had a hot breakfast at Dennys. Others stopped later at Jamestown for lunch. I caught up with them and ate my sandwich there (even though I had just had breakfast!). When we got to the campsite we quickly pitched tents before the rain set in again. We had time to dry things out a bit before the next rain shower came in, but by then everyone’s tents were up and we are all set for this evening!
