In August, Ed and I both turned 70 one day apart, and for the last three year we rideour age in miles. Indiana's Nickel Plate Trail being 40 miles long and fairly close, makes it an ideal trail for this ride. We started at the north trailhead in Rochester, rode south through Macy, Deedsville, Denver, Peru, Bunker Hill and turned around after reaching 35 miles just north of Miami. We picked today (Monday) because it was the most perfect weather in a long time. Cooler Temps, low humidity and wind. We took multiple short rest stops, and stopped at Gabriel's Pancake House in Peru for a breakfast type lunch. We even made a stop to see my Dad. I was proud of Ed riding his analog road bike, as he is used to his ebike, but as he said "I wanted this to be a pure ride." Maybe we could have been faster, but that didn't matter, but the fellowship did matter. Tomorrow will definitely be a recovery ride with the Bikin' Brothers, so I will ride Zelda, my ebike. Stay safe everyone!
