Zoetic Walls + a 30 mile ride

Last week I took a nice long bike ride, and I mean looong. 30 miles! I don’t know about you, but I think that’s pretty darn impressive, especially for someone who less than six months ago hadn’t ridden more than a mile ever. That’s my longest ride to date, and put me over the 400 mile mark for my total miles.

I biked from the West side of Cleveland, all the way to the far East side. I had seen a photo of a mural on instagram that I really wanted to get a picture of my bike in front of. Upon further investigation I found that the area that mural was in was rich with bunches of other murals. They’re actually called the Zoetic Walls and street artists from all around the world have come to help make our city look spiffy. It was really fun biking around the area looking for the murals. I obviously had to take a picture of my bike in front of all of my favorites.

Not a mural but here’s a wiener dog riding my bike. We stopped at Sandy’s Frozen Whip for a treat. This place, claiming to be “the feast in the east”, did not disappoint. I got a hot fudge sundae, which you basically can’t go wrong with. Jeff got a pineapple shake which was probably the best milkshake I’ve ever tasted! I’m looking forward to going back. Cleveland has SO many awesome ice cream spots!

We broke up the long journey home by stopping to shoot some photos on the pedestrian bridge over the highway. I don’t think I’ve ever actually been on one before. It was craaazy to feel the bridge shake when large trucks went underneath. You can actually see a squiggle in the light trails where a truck when by while the shutter was open, either that or someone hit a big pot hole! Haha.

30 mile bike rides aren’t something that will be possible all the time but here’s to hoping to do a few more before winter.
