July 11 Day 40 106 miles
We are having slightly more temperate days. There was a little fog as we left Richmond this morning. It was gone in the first hour. We crossed into Ohio after a few miles, and continued on farm roads and through a few small towns. There were very few hills today, which gave us a break. Dave and the 5 Brits caught up with us after the first SAG and we enjoyed their company all the way into the town of Saint Paris, where the group of us had lunch.
We finished up in Marysville, on the outskirts of Columbus.
Leaving Richmond on a misty morning. The Ohio state line is just a few miles into our ride.
Lots of familiar countryside and blissfully flat roads.
The Brits overtake us just before the first SAG stop.
We then ride with our British friends until lunch.
Saint Paris provides an ideal spot to stop for a midday bite.
We pass the women's prison on the way into Marysville, and catch a glimpse of the municipal building on the way through town, to our hotel.
