Almost stopped to put on my wind jacket.
Hwy 303 was great. Early on curvy, rolling hills, really rustic. Opens up to crop fields. Not much traffic; good pavement, and great riding.
I'm cruising along feeling safe and comfortable. A local truck-driver who I talk to to confirm routes tells me to be careful - "this road is a death-trap". It's all perspective !!
All too soon I have to turn off to Hwy 57 ( lots more traffic ), and then on to Hwy 82 to Strongvillle for an extended stop.
A guy at the Starbucks tells me about the great bike paths in the area, so I decide to take a bike path loop around 82 and back into Brecksville. First good hills in a while.
I'm at Dennis' (HS friend) and Rose's house by 3:00. Great conversation with Rose (first time I've met her), and Dennis is home about 5:00. Only 2nd or 3rd time we've connected in person since HS. Great catch-up; good laughs; good dinner in Brecksville.
Lots and lots of bike paths in the Cleveland - Akron area. Dennis and I stop off at the National Park where a tow path from Cleveland to Akron has been converted to bike path; and there's a commuter train also.
Pic below is their house.
