Grocery/convenience stores are marked POI before upcoming campgrounds to replenish cooking supplies along the route. The best idea is to plan carefully what you are going to cook in the evening. If it is a perishable item, keep in mind food safety. If possible, pack in ice and shade it on your rig. There are also a couple of tasty stops along the way that are POI, but just a couple. That's it.

Plan ahead - this is very important - PLAN AHEAD - resupply spots are sparse along the route. Take note of food/resupply points of interest (POI) and the marked campground POI.

This cycling adventure will take you through scenic mid-Ohio countryside, towns, and on the fringe and through several Amish communities. The quiet rural countryside along gravel roads is the main feature of this adventure.
