Toledo to Pittsburgh -- Good riding?
[strike]I'm considering a week-long tour next month, and Toledo to P-burgh is on my shortlist. Any good routes this way? Is there camping? (I know there's an AC route along the shore, but I'd rather stay inland. I think.)
Edit:
Still not certain I want to do this -- I've heard horror stories about Toledo -- but I'm sketching out a plan to see how long it would take.
Day 1: Toledo Amtrak Station to Wooded Acres Campgrounds in Lindsey, Ohio - 30 miles
Day 2 - Lindsey to Schaun Acres Campground in Oberlin, Ohio - 54 miles
Anything on these roads that sucks for riding? Or will it be miles of dull roads with very little of interest? Should I stay along the shore?[/strike]
