Bethel, OH

Last night we stayed at the United Methodist Church in Georgetown, OH. It was our second mail drop, and I got a great package of shot blocks and crosswords from my parents and some awesome cookies and other consumable treats from Emgo. I also got a card from the office and a letter from my secret saint at Covenant. Mail drops are so exciting. The church provided so much good food, which everyone probably ate way too much of. The homemade jam and biscuits at breakfast were my favorite. We're now en route to Cincinnati, where we will have our third build day tomorrow. It should be fun to stay in a bigger city for 2 nights.

In the last 2 days we have been able to ride through some beautiful parks and forests. On Wednesday we saw Wayne National Forest on the way to Portsmouth, OH, and yesterday morning we went through Shawnee State Forest, which I think might be my favorite ride yet. I've been really impressed with Ohio so far, as I'm sure I will be with every state we see.

Yay, I'm glad you got our card! I made everyone sign it :-)

Sounds amazing; it makes me so jealous to read your entries. I think the fastest I ever hit on a downhill (in California I think) was 56mph, so you've got a ways to go. I could barely see b/c my eyes were crying so much with the wind...crazy.
