Maidei goes on a world tour-Part 1 of the Bicycle Mystery Tour

[OakLeaf]

Fun pictures, wnyrider! And so funny about the squirrel.

I didn't make it into town yesterday but she should be waiting for me at the post office. Hoping to take her for a little ride with some friends later today.

After she's seen East Central Ohio, who's next? Owlie, FlyingScot, Roadtrip, artifactos, am I missing any other Ahah'ns? Or does she go to Indiana?

The club rides at 8:00 a.m. Too cold! Three of us went out on our own a little later. There was still frost on the ground when we started out. Bundle up, Maidei!



We had a wind storm last week and most of the leaves are off the trees. There wasn't much fall color this year anyway, because of the drought. We took a little break by the side of the road.



We got to see a covered bridge...



and rode through it.



This is only the middle of the hill? I'm pooped!



But the view from the top is worth it.



We stopped to refill a water bottle at the Flint Ridge park, where Native Americans quarried flint for millennia - from prehistory through the European invasion. Flint is still plentiful there, and the park hosts a flint knap-in and a Native American powwow (separate events) every year.





We'll check out some more of the local historical sites later in the week.

Beautiful pics, Oakleaf. Looking forward to more of Maidei's adventures in Ohio.
