Six bicyclists, including ourselves, occupied the free campgrounds for bike travelers at London, OH…
…this evening. Supporters of the trail here have taken a lead on supporting users of the trail with this clean and accessible facility. This campground is located directly alongside the trail, part of an extensive paved rail trail network in Ohio.
Today’s route took us directly through Columbus, Ohio — a sizable city with availability of all things we find scarce in and between small towns. Stops at REI and Costco allowed us to replenish necessities and luxuries of our bicycle quest. The bike route through Columbus is somewhat complex, owing in part to a web of bike trails that keep us off of city streets an unusual (and welcome) amount for the size of this metro area.
Judging from comments from locals, the temperature/humidity combination is remaining unusually high for an extended period, and that does lead us to nap more and bike slower. We arrive at our campground near Mount Vernon ready to eat, clean up, and sleep. We forgo our somewhat normal beer-stop in favor of more rest.
