July 30 - Circling Lake Erie

Perfect weather in the mid-seventies made our 60- mile ride a pleasure. The color of Lake Erie was the most beautiful translucent blue as the sun sparkled upon the water. We stopped at Peacock Point for some time, enjoying the beach and the calming nature of the surroundings. Some of our riders needed a rest and took advantage of a sunny, grassy spot to close their eyes.

Two bridges were being repaired and detours were necessary. We played innocent and asked the construction worker if we could walk our bikes over the bridge. He broke the rules, lifted our bikes over the barrier, and we peddled on.

On the road it is sometimes difficult to find a restroom. Can you imagine my amazement when I found this porta potty decorated with baskets of flowers?
