Tuesday July 24th we awoke to rain and it did not stop raining for the first 50 miles of our day. We were riding 70 miles from Kendallville IN to Napoleon  Ohio. We had thunder, lightning some heavy rain but mostly just steady rain all morning. It was actually pretty nice riding in the ran. We rode more carefully today so there were no accidents and the rain and clouds kept us cool. It was a nice easy 70 miles and we were in camp before 1pm. It was a very relaxing afternoon. The sun came out so we could dry our clothes and shoes. Try riding all day with wet socks in your biking shoes. My feet looked like I had been in the bath tub for hours. We our looking forward to tomorrow because when we get to Sandusky Ohio we get a day off after 6 days and 550 miles of riding. Something interesting about the roads in Indiana and Ohio. Basically you have 50 miles of straight road interrupted every three miles by a corn field. You ride straight for three miles turn left for half mile then turn right for half mile then another left and you are back on the same road you started on and you repeat the whole process every three miles. It is one giant corn maze!
