We were interviewed by a reporter for "The Advertiser". She is a cyclist and so asked very knowledgeable questions; lasted over 1 hour and took photographs too. Dad took us back to the same parking lot in Moundsville and we started with a two mile hill. It wasn't too bad, gradual, but the ups and downs afterward were tough.

Then for the later part of the ride it was quite flat. Dad had waited around for us and brought us back for another great meal - homemade bread and broccoli. Aren't mothers great? Dads too - devoting so much time to our needs. Stopped in a tiny grocery store and talked awhile with the elderly owner. She moved there with her husband in 1933. Her husband, now deceased 18 years, built the store from two old one-room schoolhouses. She told us about the recent flooding and thanked us for stopping.

DAD PICKED US UP AT THE END OF THE DAY AND TOOK US BACK FOR ANOTHER NIGHT IN RHONA'S CHILDHOOD HOME.

Today's ride: 56 miles (90 km)
Total: 3,261 miles (5,248 km)
