Springfield Ohio, 87.5 miles

The bike route: Springfield airport, Yellow Springs, Jeremiah Morrow Bridge, Yellow Springs, Springfield, Springfield airport.


A nice day to be out and about on the bike. I added a backup water bottle because it is becoming warmer, but the lucky green bottle gets the pole position. I cruised down to Jeremiah Morrow Bridge where Martha Lunken flew under the bridge and ended her career as an FAA Safety Managers. She turned her transponder off, but bridge cameras told the story. I think she still flies her Cessna. There are cameras everywhere these days. It really is a beautiful bridge and tall. The road to Fort Ancient Indian Serpent Mounds was closed so I didn't attempt it. It's a 300 ft climb but the legs were feeling good and ready to go. It seems the road will be closed for 4 more weeks. I'll try it in the Fall. Ceasar Creek was rolling more like a river. I feel like we have had more water this Spring. A nice artistic flag made from metal and some nice flowers along the way. I had a very nice dinner at Sunrise Cafe. Hey, when you only eat one meal a day, it saves money so that when you do eat out, you can make it a nice one. I had 75 miles on the bike done, but I decided to ride over to the next town and buy some chocolates for my wife and daughter. I felt good in the saddle, and it was a nice way to spend a day, 87.5 miles total.
