Sandusky Ohio and Rest Day #7

Wednesday July 24 was a 87.6 mile ride from Napoleon to Sandusky Ohio.   The temps never got out of the 60's during the entire ride.  We started the ride wearing jackets and kept them on until we reached the first check point in Bowling Green.  Most everyone checked out the local bike shop (Cycle Werks) to get needed items and last minute repairs. And most everyone headed to the local coffee shop for coffee and donuts.  The roads were extremely flat and we passed many farms on the trip to Sandusky.  We did run into a steady headwind on the last 20 miles.  We arrived in Sandusky in time for me to get laundry done and my bicycle cleaned before  dinner.  That way I had plenty of time to enjoy the rest day at the Cedar Point amusement park.  What a way to shock the body by getting to the park first thing in the morning and riding the biggest coasters they have ( Millennium,  Maverick, Mean Streak, Gemini ( Dragster was having some mechanical issues)).  I did get a few hours of rest after I visited the park, hopefully enough so I will be ready for our next 6 day push through the Appalachians and into Gettysburg.
