The Beers

Alicia and I enjoy many outdoor activities. Alicia has long had a life goal of bicycling across America. It sounded like a great adventure to me. This was an opportune pause in our lives with a recent job loss (May 2009), so with just three weeks of planning and training - we were off.

This trek started May 24th, 2009 from Anacortes, Washington ending 65 days later in Portland, Maine (We had expected 60 days to Bar Harbor, Maine.).

Day 52. Wild Waves

Here we see Lake Erie. We rode 95 miles to get here. The weather was
decent; cool this morning, 88 this afternoon. We will be following
Erie for the next 250 miles.

It is nice in camp. Very much a resort. Too bad there us little
time to enjoy. We are bushed.

Severe weather is in the forecast. We'll see. Hopefuly it wil miss
us.

Today a tent pole broke. It's fixed, but will need repair soon. I'll
give REI a call tomorrow and see about shipping replacement parts to a
post office down the road, general delivery.

After that a tent stake snapped in half. Oh well, just another set of
things to deal with. No big deal.

We expect to skate through the Cleveland metro area tomorrow. About
85 miles.
