We had a short ride scheduled for today in comparison to the rest of the trip thus far, so got out at about 8 am, a first to our usual 6 am on the long, hot days. It was a beautiful day to be riding in every respect - coolish, no significant headwinds, beautiful scenery which included shaded roads and plenty of time to explore because of the low mileage. All but the last 15 miles was along the Maumee River, reported by the clerk at the mini-mart in Grand Rapids, OH to be the largest river flowing into a non-salty body of water (in this case, Lake Erie) in the world!
