8/14/07 - - We decided to ride a shorter day so that we would stay west of Cleveland at night which was only about 60 miles away. Since it was a shorter day, our GPS told us the Rutherford B. Hayes House and Presidential Museum was only 2 blocks off our route.....we said "lets take the tour" - worthwhile. After a late start, we met Dan and Laurie doing a cross country on their bicycles. They left a month ahead of us but are spending more time in each area. We had seen their comments in the guest register at the Community Center in Monroesville. Their handle is "Crazy Guys on a Bike". It was fun talking with them and we met them again in the next town and had lunch together. Our leisurely day changed when I realized I didn't add up the miles from one of the map pages and we actually had an 80 mile day. We pedalled like crazy fools and got to Bay Village at 9:00 PM. We ordered a Pizza because we were too tired to go anywhere else. Then........"crash city".
NOTE: We did enjoy riding along Lake Erie.
