Although we rode in drizzle and heavy traffic, the ride into Cleveland was great. Still pretty rural for the first half, then along Lake Erie where the traffic picked up. We met these neat riders en route - we think our helmets make it difficult to pick out the college students from the grandmothers.....
We rode in a cloud for the first hour or so, lenses completely dripping, a parade of hopefully very visible cyclists, assisted by our flashing lights and bright clothing. The cloud cover was a welcome treat, and lasted for a good part of the ride. At the first Sag stop, I happened to see this sign across the street along a railroad track, and as luck would have it since we didn't get a 'Welcome to Indiana' sign on our route, right across the tracks was a reasonable substitute! It was gusty wind wise which kept us relatively cool for most of the day.
