9:34 AM
A great night’s sleep was interrupted with birds singing at 6:30AM. Time to get up and start the day. Oatmeal and coffee with the clean up and the gear is packed. People are coming in to use the trail, I’m ready to join them.
11:40 AM
I had hoped the stop at the Bean and Cream for brunch but the electricity on Main Street was being shut off at noon to replace the electric line. So off to Xenia. Eight cyclists from the Dayton Cycle Club came up from behind so I rode with them to Beavercreek. I am now 4.5 miles from my Warmshowers host.
2:00 PM
I arrive at my host’s house and Tom is there to greet me, Katy will come home shortly.
Lots of conversation and good food with a nice IPA. I’m showered and the laundry is done. I will start tomorrow with clean clothes.
