Took me about 6 hours (with three breaks for water/rest), and I hadn't done anything longer than 50 miles for a month, but I did it. Ran into a few problems (my usual rest stop for water and a snack on the route is up for sale, water fountains at the county-owned rest stop were out of commission with nothing between there and Xenia, and a total lack of motivation and a chafed butt over the last 10 miles). Started at 3, got back to the car at 9:15.
Real food (if I can manage to eat it and not fall asleep in it) and then cuddles with the kitty and bed. Zzz...

6 hours including stops and riding solo (right?) is pretty impressive, really! Nice work!

Yay! Stinks about the water though - good thing it wasn't as hot as it has been.

I think you did great! It is probably a good thing the trail doesn't go right by Young's Dairy
I can see it now: Young's Dairy = amazing cyclist stop phenomenon! Sorry about the water though, that wasn't a good surprise...
