I drove to my daughter’s house and was then driven to Olive Garden so my grandson could carbo load before a weekend soccer tournament.  Fun time as other families were taking their kids for carbo loading too.

Oh gee, as I always do when I visit, I marvel at the hundreds of miles of lonely country roads, stitching communities and farms together.  The pavement is amazing too!!!! Cyclists with whom I talk in AZ, understandably, have no idea how good is the quality of cycling here.

The fields of corn and soybeans are being stripped as I ride towards Stone Quarry Road on a 50 mile route.

My ride takes me through historic Granville too and then….

….I enjoy watching Anthony’s team win a game!

The Monday morning, Westerville Cycling Club group ride is a favorite starting in New Albany and pausing in Granville.  I’d have to say this group, collectively, is a little stronger than the Cactus Cycling group with whom I ride in AZ..  I was shocked that I hung in with the faster group but departing Granville, I faded.

Anthony and I hit balls that evening.  The kid is a good athlete and could be good at golf but soccer is his future, I think.  If I spend next summer in OH, I may work in more golf into his routine.

Rain, 3 of 4 days, allowed me to fix the opening I started a few days ago.  Glad I had this project and it turned out pretty good.  Note the washer and dryer will butt against this wall so the quality of the repair wasn’t that important.  But, it was fun to do the work and step back, mostly satisfied.
