The team woke up ready for a nice short 55 mile ride to Columbus.  Cloudy skies greeted us early and shortly into the ride, we were in a pretty steady downpour.  Luckily, the ride was short and the temperatures were mild enough to make it a decent ride. 

The entirety of the team arrived by early afternoon to our stayover at Broad Street United Methodist Church in downtown Columbus.  After some free time in the afternoon we received an amazing meal from the Columbus U of I Alumni with some amazing cupcakes provided by Mrs. Erikson, a mother of a former rider.

Tomorrow is gonna be wild.  We will encounter our first century ride, with a 110 mile ride to Richmond, Indiana, taking us across all of Ohio in two and a half days.  Though we will leave behind the beauty of the mountains of PA and rolling hills of Ohio, we are all looking forward to some flat rides through the cornfields of the Midwest.

Tune in next time.
