Karl and Zach rode 60 miles today. They got on the Montour Trail this morning and followed it to McDonald where they got on the Panhandle Trail. The stayed on the Panhandle Trail till it ended in West Virginia. Then they took Route 2 south to the Market Street bridge which has a pedestrian walk they used to cross into Ohio. They then road about 1 1/2 uphill to to the hotel in Steubenville, Ohio where they will spend night.
Today Karl and Zach met a nice couple in a restaurant when they stopped for lunch. This couple was interested in their trip and asked if they could follow them on this blog. The couple said they were planning to ride to Washington, DC with their family this summer. When Karl and Zach went to leave the restaurant they learned the couple had paid for their meal and they wish to say thank you. Karl would like me to ask them to post a comment letting them know that they found the blog. They also hope they will post comments letting them know how they made out on their bike trip.
I keep forgetting to mention two things about the maps I have been including each day. First, they might not always be the actual route they took that day because besides checking google maps using the bike mode for the best route, he also checks his GPS. Second, by clicking on the map you can see a larger image of it.
Karl sent me two pictures. The first is of the Market Street bridge they crossed into Ohio. The second is of Zach enjoying time in the pool. Karl is going to try to send me more picture from the day later but I might not get them posted until tomorrow.
We found your blog! We are Pat and Ann and we loved meeting Zach and Grandpa Karl at the little cafe this morning. We think you two are amazing and we will be following your progress all summer. Good luck!
