It didn&#8217;t take long before I was seeing the lake in backyards. Eventually the houses became massive with a variety of landscaping. The Aspen cable car was one of the off-beat. I met a cyclist from Lakewood who was about 15 miles east of home, riding a titanium Seven with Campy Chorus equipment. I asked him if he had any advice on the route. He said I should try to get east of Cleveland. He suggested I get to atleast Willowick. I was there a little after 8:00pm, but the clerk at the motel had no idea how to tell me how to get there. It might not have even been in that suburb. I used my phone to checkk online. I need an app for that. I went of the route, made some inquires and ended up in Mentor. I am east of my plan for the day. The total was 87 miles. I back tracked when when I was off the route in Cleveland.<\/p>\n<p>The houses along the lake in several of the suburbs were amazing. Another unique decoration was a British phonebooth. I had a southwest wind thet was a big help in making the mileage today. It was still 96 degrees just before 7:00pm. There breeze helped some. While I made good time on some of the roads, eventually the stop signs and traffic signals made for a slower overall time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bikeacrossusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/phone-booth-Lake-Erie.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-522\" title=\"phone-booth-Lake-Erie\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bikeacrossusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/phone-booth-Lake-Erie.jpg\" alt=\"British phone both\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bikeacrossusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/phone-booth-Lake-Erie.jpg 600w, http:\/\/www.bikeacrossusa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/phone-booth-Lake-Erie-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 58 &#8211; Monday, July 23 started in the country southwest of Huron, Ohio.
