Hello!

Iā€™m following my lifelong dream to ride my bike across the United States.

This blog will document my trek.

Day 16: Buckeye Lake, OH to Mount Sterling, OH (60.3 miles)

Just a glorious bike riding day - blue sky, nice temperatures, low traffic rural roads. Stopped in Lancaster for a cup of coffee and a 2nd breakfast. Got American flags for our bikes prior to the town parade. Visited the towns of Millersport, Thurston, Lancaster, and Circleville. Weather for tonight looks like thunderstorms are possible. Camping tonight at Deer Creek State Park group camping area.
