Going on 4,000ft of climbing, and some of those hills were little devils. Lots of local history though, which is always fun.

Nice pics, hon!
This is rad. I travel to this area for work quite often, I should look into this.
Nice pictures & nice bike too!
But did you have fun, that’s the question
Lots of Pictures, but no details; HOW, did it “kick Your Butt”? Wind, Rain, Both; Headwind, lots of Hills, Lack of Conditioning, What.
I had a 252-Mile Bike Ride, from Columbus, to Zanesville, via Westerville, Reynoldsburg, Pickerington, Sugar Grove, Junction City, and Corning, to Zanesville (154 Miles); then, on Sunday, North, to Dresden, Northwest, through Southern Knox County, about halfway, between Mount Vernon, and Utica, West, to Hartford, South to Johnstown, then through Westerville. I “pooped out”, sunburned, and dog-tired; with about 6 miles, to Home, and had to call, for a “Sag Wagon” (98 miles). I had “left Home”, near Worthington, about 7:30 AM, on Saturday, reached Jug, and Mink Streets, South of Johnstown; around 10 AM, then Reynoldsburg, around Noon. I hit the Clear Creek Gorge, about 2:30-3:00 PM, Junction City, about 5-6:00 PM, and Corning, about 7PM. It was right after The Summer Solstice, so I had, about 15 Hours of Daylight. I hit “The Three Bears”, around 7:30, and Morgan County, and Ohio 555, just about Sunset, at 8:30 PM, and had light, until about 9 PM, at Ohio 669, East of Crooksville, and 555. It was dark, and I had to be “cautious”, descending hills, but reached Zanesville, a little after Midnight. Got some rest, and got up, around 7 AM, Sunday morning. Grabbed a “Convenience Store” Breakfast, and headed North, on Ohio 666, toward Dresden. Reached Dresden, about 8:30 (The cool morning air, “refreshed” Me), Then Headed north, via Ohio 60, to Wakatomica, then Northwest, through Coshocton County, and into Knox County, reaching Ohio 13, shortly after Noon.
