Every year there is a bike week in Sandusky (up by the lake and Cedar point). I wasn't sure if any one was interested in going or not but it could be fun to check out. http://www.ohiobikeweek.com/
I really wish I had a bike that would be able to make this trip. Looks amazing and I would love to do it one of these days. You might want to rethink taking Art along. The stories I herd about him going out west involved alot of rain.....
