Day 28 - Brookville to Richmond
Heart | 0 | Comment | 0 | Link |
It was (for me) a somewhat strenuous ride today - 49 miles and over 2,000 feet of climbing. There was also a brisk headwind between Liberty and Eaton for added pleasure.
I didn't get any photos between Brookville and Liberty because I was on a moderately busy road that had no shoulder, but many semi's. It was also the section that had the most hills, and I was either grinding out a climb or hanging and watching for those trucks on the downhills.
Our first stop was in Liberty where we toured the Union County courthouse.

Photos of the courthouse square...
After visiting Liberty, I headed east to Eaton, OH to see our second courthouse for the day. Once I left Liberty, I was on farm roads for most of the way to Eaton. At this point the terrain flattened out and the riding would have been perfect, except for the headwind.

After leaving Eaton, that headwind turned into a strong tailwind, which made for a very enjoyable 12-mile ride our motel in Richmond.
We're taking a day off tomorrow to view the sights in Richmond and visit a couple of museums.
Today's ride: 49 miles (79 km)
Total: 535 miles (861 km)
