Next Friday, August 20 I'll hit the open road on my very first tour. It will be a small one back to my home town of Bucyrus, Ohio for the annual Bratwurst Festival.
I'll get an early start Friday morning. The trip takes me through fairly nice size towns, Carey and Upper Sandusky, at almost exact thirds. The total ride will be about 50 miles so it should be a fairly easy ride. Hopefully I'll arrive in Bucyrus by about 3:00. I'll hang out at the festival that night with my cousin then stay the night with him.
The next morning the Bratwurst Festival sponsors a metric century ride (100 km or 62 miles), which I'll ride in. They also have a shorter option (25 miles) which I may take depending on how much I get worn out the day before. Later that day my roommate will drive to Bucyrus and the three of us will hang out at the festival again that night and hit the beer gardens. Then we'll drive back to Findlay.
It should be perfect for a first trip. I'll get over 100 miles in, but since the ride on the second day is really not part of the tour then I do have the option of not doing it in case I get worn out or (perish the thought) really do not enjoy it. And I have that option of the shorter version of the century ride the second day. And no matter what happens, I'll be in good company when I get to Bucyrus and have lots of fun things to do.
Look for more entries and pictures!
