 Mild Climbing
Little cooler today but turned out to be a decent riding day as wind appears to have abated for a bit. Decided to do a touring pace and headed off to Ovid then over the ridge to T-burg. Climbed steadily at a comfortable pace on the very long climb to Lodi. Thought I might pick things up a little once I got a slight tailwind out of Ovid but instead opted to play 'Where does that road go' and veered off course after Interlaken and headed off into the hills. Not sure what roads I was on but they were excellent riding surfaces and low traffic. The main road I stayed on was nearly perfectly straight for a few miles and slightly uphill. Went into full tour mode and checked out the scenery. Had a good view from the top of the ridge and tried to figure out the names of the various hills I could see below me as I am sure I have climbed them all but didn't recognize them from my new perspective. Rode back into familiar roads just east of Reynoldsville and pedaled for home. Lost a few miles from my planned course but picked up some more climbing and a good day on the bike.
