Ann Arbor, MI & Toledo, OH

With the intense heat still taunting us, we rode hard all morning to try and beat it. The ride was great and we once again had a lunch with the folks at Saturn in Ann Arbor. From there we made our way to the Weber Inn for the night's lodging. This place was really nice and the AC was working! For the evening we had a friendship visit with the Eisenhower center for people with auto-caused brain injuries. It was a casino night with all sorts of games, prizes and food. One guy that Dan and I were talking with kept telling us we had "beautiful feet and good looking faces", it was pretty hilarious the way he kept going on about it. Afterwards a group of us stopped by Wendy's and got some snacks. Once again, we did a Frostee challenge with Josh winning for the second time in a row.

Today's roads were TERRIBLE and the heat was rough but eventually we made it to Toledo and our lunch/friendship visit with the kids at the Sunshine Center. It was a good time eating Olive Garden lunch and playing Yahtzee with some of the kids. Due to the rediculous heat, we racked our bikes back to the chapter house at U of Toledo. The picture up above is a lighted sign that was in the Pi Kapp house. After getting cleaned up, we grabbed some sponsored dinner at Outback. Let me tell you though, they hooked us up with a blooming onion per table, steak, chicken, and baked potato per man, and a milk shake for dessert. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and all felt gorged afterwards. To the right is a McDonalds in Toledo. As you can tell by the fact that I took a picture, it was a pretty incredible building for a McD's.
