Day 13, Race to the Rollercoasters

This morning, Molly's comment that summed it all up: 'blue skies to
the left, blue skies to the right, and we're riding in the rain
corridor in the middle.' We rode through quite a mixture of the
US-from the comfort and idyllic setting of Chagrin Falls to the
endless suburban sprawl to the diverse and struggling neighborhoods of
southern Cleveland and back to the beautiful houses on Lake Erie, we
had it all today.

Fun facts of the day: did you know that if you took all of the water
in the Great Lakes
You could cover the 48 contiguous United States under 9.5 feet of
water? Or that the surface area of the Great Lakes is roughly the same
size as the entire United Kingdom or the states of CT, NY, MA, VT, RI,
and NH combined?

We stocked up on beer tonight to fete our day off tomorrow and also on
cookies to complement the beer. We flew on the bikes this afternoon
and whether the motivation was towards rollercoasters or beer we'll
never know but vive our rest day!
