Ohio what a trip

Now that we have passed the two week mark we are really getting into the swing of things. Ohio has been full of the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Early on in Ohio we were faced with the trepidation that we may not be able to continue. We had moments in the depths of despair and not only did the west coast seem unattainable but even a few miles seemed daunting. We did the only thing we could think of which was get some rest and hop on our bikes. We did not know if we would make it one mile with Jeanné's leg but one pedal stroke at a time we have been making progress. 

The credit to our current success is owed mostly to the Love and support that others have shown us. We are continually thankful for the support from friends and family but have been caught off guard by how much support we have had from the hearts of strangers. We have had the most wonderful time and been shown incredible hospitality from so many. The list at this point seems overwhelming so I apologize if I forget you. Thanks to Mary Ann for rejuvenating us with your great company and terrific kitchen. Thanks for Rick for pointing us to a great place to spend the night and ensuring we reached the destination safely. Thanks to our friends Bill and Marsha for the wonderful stay great food and the pleasure of great company. Thank you to the couple who payed our tabs on our way to Columbus. Thank you to Eric's aunt Starlette and uncle Mark for the incredible hospitality and advice on local routes. 

We thought at one point we would never make it to Canton and we are now past Columbus nearing the end of Ohio. I will try to touch more upon the riding soon, we just can't impress how much support we have had. We would not be this far without all who have helped out, here's to you!
