Day 16 15/07/09 Woodvile, OH > Montpellier, OH. 88miles

Today was a very very long day into a howling headwind (tho avoided the storm warnings)! Had a lovely breakfast cooked for us first tho! Found the cycle track we were told about, tho it was definitely not suited to our bikes! Like cycling through a long field. Had my first puncture of the trip! Saw a blue heron, also some sort of eagle/hawk thing chasing a much smaller bird for a few minutes - not sure what the outcome was!
Roads today were very hard to navigate around west north west south west north west south. must have cycled a good 15miles more than we needed to! Tried to make it to the indiana border, but with a wrong turning and Keir on the wrong side of an infection we stayed at montpellier . Found a disused campsite but in the end decided to stay in a motel!
Had myself the first shave for two weeks which felt goooood! No longer beardyman!
People in the petrol station were particularly unhelpful. whats there to do here? nothing. anywhere good to eat? no. is there a payphone nearby? no. is there any transport to chicago? no.
Cheery folk.
