Day 9

Start: Wheeling, WV
End: near Freeport, OH
Distance today: 39.7
Total: 562.6

After a long and late night last night, we decided to take it easy today. Slept in, had a relaxing breakfast by the river, and only rode about 40 miles.

It was several miles uphill from the campsite to the nearest town, and since we didn't feel like riding in for dinner, we resigned ourselves to a dinner if clif bars. Fortunately, at that moment, a couple drove in and parked in the site next to us. They had come to swim and picnic, and were kind enough to share their wine, cheese, and shrimp cocktail, as well as their knowledge about the area and the best route to take in the morning. Thanks so much, Ron and Michele!!
