Today, in a little more detail

It's hard to ride, be exhausted, lost, and blog in the same day.

So, as noted the first 40 + 20 mile segments went well
(except for Wayne).

Most of the group missed a turn and wound up going 2 miles
to far south, cutting over and back up. I love roads
that are layed out on mile sections

The rest of the ride was somewhat more difficult (for me
at least). I was nearly passed out at the last snack
break (1st time). I had energy to keep riding, but not
enough to hang with most of the crew, so I plodded
along at my own pace.

The SAG Wagon had bought paint and were marking the turns
for us. First in yellow...until the one marked in
both yellow and orange that said "new color" and then
finally the one in orange that said "out of paint".

Oh, signs seen along the way, a church with a board that
said "board broken, come inside for message" and
one town that had a sign "no peddling"...umm...

Anyhow, after the out of paint sign, since I was alone
and had a GPS, I called the hotel, got their address
(or so I tought), punched it in, got directions
to a place 9 miles away that would have ended my
day at 101 miles. Perfect. I road it, only to
discover I was 7 miles the wrong side of Ashland.
So, I rode into Ashland and then the 4 miles or so
to the hotel (after I figured out how to set the
GPS to aim at the right place). Technology.
Who needs it :-\ I wound up with 110 miles
for my first "century" in something like 25 years.

A large bunch of us went to Bob Evans. There are times
you don't feel guilty about pigging out. This is one
of them. The watress had probably never brought more
water or had such a large order of starch heavy food
by (her own comment) such a nice group of customers.

People from the south tried Mush (I was not aware that
it was a northern thing ???).

There is aparently a group over at Wendys now playing
Dutch Blitz. I don't know about them, but I'm thinking
bed thoughts at 9 after a day like today.
