On Saturday morning, I drove Bill up to London, Ohio with hopes of at least making it to Xenia. My plan was to take the car to Xenia Station where several bike trails interesect. From there, I would head north on my bike to meet him and ride back. It was a beautiful day with butterflies flying among the prairie flowers.I met Bill in the small town of Cedarville, which coincidentally is the town where our current governor, Mike Dewine, lives. We got back to Xenia Station, a former train station that has been renovated as a hub for several bike trails.

As Bill was feeling strong, he decided to ride an addional seven miles to Spring Valley. Part of the motivation for riding on to Spring Valley was to visit their ice cream shop. Everyone who rides that section of the trail knows to stop for some ice cream. Today was no exception. Several cyclists stopped for their treat. Unfortunately, the shop was closed.
If I had to guess, the ice cream shop was a casualty of the Covid 19 pandemic. It's so difficult to see so many businesses unable to survive in these difficult financial times.
We loaded the bike on the car and headed home. Bill was able to log an additional 41 miles.
