626.2 Near Amherst Memorial

Perrysburg to Cleveland OH, June 26

"...Near Amherst about 30 miles west of Cleveland I got my first reminder of the one-horse story and a foretaste of what was in store for me. The truss on the front forks of my bicycle broke. When I stopped to remove the remains of it, I found that it had crystallized so that it was like a piece of old rusty iron...That was the effect of the terrible pounding the machine had received over the railroad ties. ."








Waypoint Today:  Somewhere along the 1903 road approaching Amherst, now North Ridge Road, Wyman stopped to deal with the front suspension truss breaking off. He would have passed through Amherst on his way to Cleveland, where he stopped for the night.
