6/29/12

The day started out badly because of a wrong turn.  I went left instead of right and ended up going around a 6 mile triangle and back at the start.  It could have been worse if it had been 6 miles without a turn that returned to start.  This will teach me to check my map in the morning instead of relying on my not so great memory.
The rest of the ride was uneventful and boring.  I arrived at the planned motel in Maumee (a Toledo suburb).  The motel, Americas Best Value, is clean and has the usual amenities and was only $42.00.  Just a quarter mile away was sports bar and grill with several local brews on tap.  Had an IPA and a porter from Great Lakes Brewery in Cleveland.  Dinner there was chicken pasta for only $8.00.  Great place, Flickers,  great staff and clients.  It may be a Midwest chain.  I'll keep a lookout for others.
