After the first week, I think everyone on our team is welcoming Ohio's flat land. The scenery is still great, however, and we saw some incredible views of lake Erie today.
Its amazing to think that only 30 years ago the lake was so polluted that, as the saying goes, nearly anything in it would float and spontaneous fires were known to arise due to the toxic and flammable chemicals which resided in the lake. The incredible Clean Water Act, however, began the massive cleanup and filtration of Lake Erie which has restored the lake's water quality, at least to my swimming standards (as shown below.)
I'm consistently amazed with the daily improvements on our team. Riders are getting faster and faster, our morning routine, which involves decamping, route briefing, preparing, eating and cleaning breakfast and packing the chase car has gone from a 2+ hour process to just over one hour. Everyone's communication on the road has improved significantly also, and we're pacelining like pros. All this in the first week? Yea, we're that good.
