We entered into Pennsylvania today, and then after about 5 hours of pedaling we entered into New York. Road through the entire State of Pennsylvania in 5 hours, is that fast or what! Well the State is only about 45 miles wide at the top of the State where we crossed. Oh well, still seemed impressive to me 🙂

we pedaled 75 miles today with a fairly nice tail wind for part of the day so we got to our camping spot before dark which hasn’t happened for the last week. We are at Lake Erie State Park and right now the wind is blowing very hard. If I weren’t in my tent I am sure it would blow away. We are only a few feet from the lake and the sound of the waves created by the wind is very loud along with the wind howling. Sounds kind of cool!

tomorrow we are planning on camping at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Campground which is 3 miles from Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. We will have to bicycle through Buffalo, New York which I am not looking forward to. I am hoping there are a lot of designated bike lanes.

We have 9 ride days left until we finish the course! Single digit number of days left. Won’t be long now until this Mountain is climbed! The forecast is for nice sunny weather for the next week where we will be riding. That will be a very nice way to finish the trip!

love you all very much. Dee
