Today we road from Warren to Franklin. It was a pretty good ride with not too many hills other than the one really steep one that I tweeted about. There were some very nicely paved roads even more exciting not one but two bike paths. Not having to deal with cars for part of the day was fantastic. We were able to ride two across and talk comfortably. After getting in we went to a bar to watch the world cup game. We got to talk to the owner (I think that's who she was) and we got free T-shirts so now I have four shirts to alternate. The place as called Celtic Cafe and they did have a Celtics theme going on which I found to be a little weird since we are no where near Boston. Yesterday we also had a pretty good ride that wasn't too hilly. Both days were just south of 70 miles. Yesterday we had a particularly beautiful ride after lunch in Allegheny National Forest. We road down to a reservoir. We also liketo play games while we ride and I had a fantastic game of categories with two other riders Sarah and Chris. Categories is a game where you pick a category like bands or animals and you go through the alphabet trying to come up with a band whose name starts with each letter of the alphabet for example. In our game we tried to come up with as many different names as we could for each letter to make the game last longer. We also went off on lots of funny tangents including Sarah singing a song about rocks that she wrote for a school project in middle school. It was quite good. Tomorrow we're crossing into Ohio. I'm excited to get to see another state and looking forward to the flats although I'm sure I'll change my tune before long.
