First of all pardon our lack of blogging for which we have no excuses! So to catch you up on a week of events I'll simply hit the highights.
Satuday evening in Ohio was our first and most interesting run in with the law! The cop woke us up at 3 in the morning and gave us the raised eyebrow when we told him we were biking across the country and that we weren't druggies :-) Ultimately, he told us to have a good trip and let us get back to sleep.
Sunday morning as we were nearing Cleveland Erik's rear derailer decided to take a trip into the spokes of his rear wheel which bent up his chain and left us stranded! Fortunately, we were able to cut his chain and Jerry rig his bike into a single speed! That was great except it left him in a super low gear pedalling about 7 times for every one of mine (Nathan). The best part about this setup was that we topped out at 10mph and had to ride 40m to ride! It was a lazy Sunday ride for me but Erik was whizzing along and sweating bullets lol!
