Out of the mountains!

Today's ride took us from Cadiz, OH to Zanesville, OH which was a distance of about 65 miles.  The ride today was pretty smooth compared to most days, we had smooth roads the whole way, the weather stayed nice until the very end, and the whole team made it in to our destination by about 2PM, so it was a shorter day.  We are also happy to see that the mountains still seem to be receding behind us and we think that the worst of the hills are behind us (at least until the Rockie!).  We are staying the night at the Central Presbyterian Church in Zanesville tonight, and they made us a wonderful meal to keep us fully nourished for our journey.  We always really appreciate being able to go to bed with full stomachs and a warm place to sleep. Finally, we would like to thank the people of Ohio who have been especially kind to us so far, to all those who have donated in the past days, a big huge "thank you" from all of us!!!
