Ride Description: Sunrise Shadow on the Corn Ride. We decided to reprise our ill-fated trip to the Paulsen's house from last week. Our Screamer has now been repaired from the chain jump to the inside of the wheel. All derailer side spokes have been replaced and Brett trued the wheel and adjusted the shifting. On Doty we noticed our shadow moving playfully on the corn as the sun came up. We arrived uneventfully and headed east with Phil and Janet on their tandem. We stopped to see the amazing alpacas just before Heimberger as their guard dogs started barking. Then off to Stemen and over to Millersport for breakfast outside on the patio at Olde Canal Restaurant. Then out Geiger and Cattail and eventually Elder on a similar route to my 100 miler with Phil last Wednesday. We turned on Pleasantville Rd and into the gas station in town for a break. Then back west as Phil finally spotted deer on Leonard just past 158. We saw a fawn there just crossing the road in front of us and then into the corn. We rode out Basil Western and said goodbye to the Paulsens on Stoudertown and we continued on to Meijer where Mar wanted to buy socks. Then we added a couple more miles by heading out Busey around Pickerington Ponds and over to Long before heading back to 256. Mar requested an iced coffee break so we rode over to Tim Horton's and sat in the soft chairs, watched the Olympics and sipped our beverages. Then back on the bike for the ride home where we spotted the "Taco Del Mar" car and Toruk inside waving at us madly. We waved back and headed home finishing up around the neighborhood to round out the mileage on this gorgeous day.
