Comments
Today's ride is planned to cover mostly interstate. I fully expect that there will be a lot of diversions to jump off the highway for. I'll watch for billboards along the way.

In Wapakonta OH, a moderate diversion from the stop in Lima is the Neil Armstrong Air and Space Museum. It sounds interesting, particularly as a complement to the stops in Houston, Florida and Washington DC. Interesting thoughts in anticipation of the 30th anniversary of Armstrong's moonwalk (1999).
If this wasn't Memorial Day weekend, a trip to the Honda manufacturing plant in Marysville, OH would be a short detour.
