Ride Description: Jumping Canal Fish Ride. We started early and jumped off around 6:30am to head for breakfast in Millersport. We rode down Harmon and out 204 for a change knowing that traffic should be light early on a Saturday morning. We followed Etna Rd to Broad and Mill St into Pataskala following the "Bike Route" signs through town. We headed out Blacks where we soon noticed a sign stating the road was closed in 1/2 mile. This turned out to be right before Watkins Rd where the pavement was completely torn out. We speculated that they are lowering the hill to improve visibility at the intersection. We walked the bike around the construction and continued on our way. We rode into Hebron and down Canal Rd where we spotted 4 heron and more jumping fish than we've ever seen. A family was fishing there and they yelled that they had been catching small fish. Then on into Millersport where we stopped for breakfast at Olde Canal Restaurant. Terri took care of us as usual and we ordered 2x2x2 as usual. There were a couple of bikers there when we pulled up and two more came as we were leaving. Then on into Baltimore where we continued to see lots of garage sales as we had all morning. Then on down Basil Western where we saw two kestrels jump off the phone lines and fly along with us for a while. We pulled into Meier for a pit stop then Mar saw a kingfisher flying around the pond at the end of the parking lot. Then up Diley and back home by 1130am.
