Ohi-oh!

The final leg of the trip has begun. We are all definitely feeling close to home now that we're in this part of the country (and finally in the eastern time zone again). Chicago was an absolute blast, but departing made us remember there's still some work to be done before getting back to Virginia. Fortunately though our bodies have had time to reboot and our spirits have been quickly renewed.

The route through Indiana was pretty quick and we've been in Ohio for the past couple days. We stayed in Bowling Green for a night and got to watch the final 2 stages of the tour which was really cool. Also, this may only be relevant to certain people, but Connor and I discovered that a person known as Big Red now resides in the campus area there. As terrifying as that may be, Bowling Green is a pretty fun and lively college town.

Today we got to enjoy a day at the lake with extended friends, the Jacksons. Their hospitality has been great. Trivial Pursuit, paddle boats, frisbee, cannonballs, and bellyflops all ensued. Now we have the West Virginia border eyeing us down. There are a few small hills coming up I think (the Appalachians or something..) but we're ready keep on pedaling.
