Here are the final reports from the 2006 Tour De Western Ohio:
The Tour began Friday shortly after four (only slightly over one hour past the intended departure!) and consisted of an exciting drive down rt. 4 to a hotel in Blufton, Ohio *(don't ask!)* where I met up with four friends from college. Great time.
After a short rest Friday night (and I do mean short!!!), the Tour resumed down rt I-75 to Dayton, Ohio where I got to spend some more great times with the friends (aside from Jenn, who had to leave early Saturday morning for the annual tractor pull--not kidding). There was a sense of anticipation in the air Saturday evening as the Tour came back to the parking lot of Apex Community Church (returning from enjoying some good dinner after the Saturday night service)...only to find the chosen valiant chariot for the Tour (otherwise known as the Grand Prix) COMPLETELY UNWILLING TO START!!! The whole future success of the Tour was in jeopardy!
Ok, so it wasn't that dramatic, but special thanks to Amanda's roomate Laura for the ride back to their house!
After some phone calls and a really great time with Amanda (including Panera bagels and coffee at a park), the Tour continued on Sunday with the assistance of Uncle Tom who came to my rescue and picked me up and continued the next leg of the tour up to Urbana, Ohio.
Monday was spent eating, shopping, and visiting with my cousins Kara, Rylee (Kara's ADORABLE daughter), Lori, and my Aunt Barb. It was great.
Tuesday ushered in the reunion between me and my valiant chariot (complete with a new starter...who would have guessed! It wouldn't start, so it needed a starter!). Before pushing hard for the finish of the 2006 Tour, I got my hair cut by Lori and it is so cute! I can't wait to style it myself tomorrow. She did a fabulous job!
So, I'm home now, with the 2006 Tour De Western Ohio in the books. You may be wondering what I'm going to do now...? I'm going to Disney World!

Sounds like a fun weekend! So jealous of your cousin time! Can't wait to see a photo of your new hair do!!
It just amazes me that you have time for fun tours. Brenda and I have been back to the grind of teaching for 2 weeks now! Sorry to hear the car drama... at least there was an uncle to rescue you! Next time why don't you extend the tour to Texas???
