We were feeling much better this morning and ready to get out and walk a bit. Our apartment is right across the street from the Defiance County Courthouse. It took me awhile to get a picture without cars in front of it, but I finally got a few. Unlike most of the courthouses so far, this one has no courthouse square or public park adjacent to it.
In the early afternoon, we decided we were ready to take a short loop ride. Kerry mapped us out a 25 mile loop west to the town of Sherwood and back. It was a good ride. We had some headwind, some rollers, some bad pavement, but unlike some of the earlier Courthouse Tour rides, this one was enjoyable. We're getting back into touring mode and making concessions to being true senior cyclists now. I think fewer daily miles and longer rest stops are going to be the way to go for this tour. I also have to get back in the habit of taking pictures as we ride!
The dreaded "Road Closed", except, as is so often the case, the road is closed to cars and trucks and buses and motorcycles, but not to cyclists who ask nicely.
