2017 - Day 16 - Geneva-On-The-Lake, OH

Yesterday was a good day.  We rode straight through Pennsylvania without stopping and ended up in another state park in Ohio.  I remember coming through here, going the other way, in 2014.  The town itself is very touristy, with mini golf and ice cream and all the rest, but the park itself is natural and beautiful.  We went swimming for the second day in a row in Lake Erie, which felt amazing even though the lake itself seems kind of dirty, and the bugs are bad. 

We rode a full century yesterday, and it felt really good.  I'm rediscovering the joy of the physicality of cycling and it is really so much more fun to be in good shape and to feel capable.  I felt like I could do another 30-50 easy, and that's a nice feeling.  And I'll need it because I have a half ironman coming up in August!  Everyone is really nice in the group and I'm having fun; I want to focus on the physicality of the cycling from now on in this trip and really get myself ready to go for that ironman!
