Last night I went out for a stroll along the riverfront in Charleston to see the large crowd that had come out to see me; or maybe they were there to take in the festivities of Regatta Weekend in the State Capital. There was live entertainment, amusement rides for children and older folk, a proper midway with games, many different food and beverage concessions on the street that runs parallel to the river, and many boats, including a collection of large paddle wheelers.
While I prefer to avoid the major highways in the USA when I am on my motorcycle, there is something to be said about the benefits of a divided four lane highway with a 70 mph speed limit if you want to quickly cover a long distance and you don’t mind missing all the small towns and cities along the way. So that’s what I did today; I did the 491 km from Charleston, West Virginia to Conneaut, Ohio, including a section on smaller roads that Lucy added just for fun I guess, in just over five hours.
