You are so right on the views! Even riding in the downpour that one day was
great!!! I'll take your word on the hills. Yeah, walking up is an option.
However, I'll just make sure that we train on some hilly terrain so we can RIDE
up the hill. I was amazed at an older gentleman this last time that was riding
a single speed bike and going up one hill, where I saw him, with little or no
effort. Then, there was an older lady that said "hi" as she breezed past us
going up another hill. That's my incentive to train, train, train. My daughter
and I are getting excited for June to come around now! We are also looking
forward to the evening entertainment. They had some good bands this year,
especially the rock band in Port Clinton, the Coco Beanos.

Think of it this way. If the hill is too steep, you get off the
bike and walk. After that, it is a fun ride downhill. With flat
terrain, the winds never stop so you never get a break. Hills are
EASIER, and more scenic than mile after mile of flat farmland. The
2004 route was lovely, if not hilly. But,oh, the views!

GOBA and we liked the flat route. Heard some veterans say that it
was a harder ride with the headwinds and all, but am worried about
the hills. Loved riding with GOBA though. What a great group of
people!
