Men's Fall Trip 2016 Ohio

[the Ferret]

Day 5 would be a rest and recover day with a short loop, the yellow one. (when planning a ride I always plan a rest and recoup day about mid way thru the trip). We would ride the other half of 555 today in the opposite direction (we hated the top half the other day) but Jnor assured me the bottom half was much, much better and he was right.

We took 7 to 60, 60 to 821, 821 to 339, 339 all the way back to 7 then pick up 555 to 550 and 550 back to 7 and the hotel.

According to my notes 60, 821 and 339 were very good down to the town on Beverly on 339. 555 was great (and so much better than the top half) and 550 was good.

Lunch was at the 3rd street café’ in downtown Marietta, a very cool little upscale eatery. We sat outside by the street and watched traffic roll by as we ate things such as Aztec Chowder, and Kentucky Klubs and On Top of Old Smoky deli sandwiches.

After lunch we headed back to the hotel and took the afternoon off to play in the pool.

Although personally, I prefer the warmth of the Jacuzzi to soothe my aches and pains (plus I can reach the bottom without water being in my face lol)

I think it was Roger who picked Bob Evans for dinner tonight and most of us enjoyed their broasted (fried) chicken and sides.

Only 109 miles of riding today.
