Day 12, Beware too much sugar

We write from the comfort of a REAL home (not, of course, that I would insinuate that a mat in a tent on the side of a highway in a trailer park is not considered a real home like we experienced last night) but this real home happens to be Molly's neighbor Kate's parents' home (got that?) in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. The town is lovely with its waterfalls in the center of town, and lest I forget the beer here happens to be very good as well (and the chicken and shrimp and hamburgers and fries and salad at Rick's Cafe also).

A little update from yesterday, lo and behold our TWO state crossings yesterday, PA and OH. Our letter-making skills are out-of-control good as you can witness from the artistry below:

Here you need to use your imagination a little to find the letters O and H.


We had 80 miles to do today and it seemed long, especially considering that in the end, eating the entire tub of cake frosting with pretzels is actually a bad idea for your stomach, who knew? We should stick to things that we know will be good for us, such as: Snickers ice cream bars, SnakPak puddings, fig Newtons, Kudos bars (the peanut butter kind), apples with either peanut butter or Nutella, bananas, oranges, orange juice, iced tea, Doritos, Pringles, Ruffles, ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, peanut M&Ms, trail mix. This is but a mere sampling of what we have consumed--we continue to impress even ourselves with how much we eat.

We like the Midwest--people are nice and more importantly, the land is FLAT. We ride back to Lake Erie tomorrow to Sandusky, OH, and will be partaking in many, many rollercoasters on our day off the following day at Cedar Point Amusement Park. Here's to a better day tomorrow as we ride 86 miles frosting-free!
