    You are going to have such a wonderful adventure. It is particularly awesome that you are doing this crazy thing with good (and equally crazy) friends. We all look forward to hearing the stories.
    By the way, it looks like you guys are the last off the plane. Did the piolet take your this hansome photo?

https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1940336424?share_unique_id=46 Another perfect day cycling in northern Connecticut.   It was a Saturday,  so traffic was light.  We joined the local folks at a cafe for a filling breakfast 20 miles down the road.   It was a good thing, because there was lot of climbing at the end of the 55 mile day. Lots of pretty scenery and friendly folks.  We are 500 miles into the ride so we have a little more credibility when we describe what we are doing.  We are asked pretty often by people we encounter. We are on the 2nd map of the 7.  Our next map takes us into Pennsylvania. I will post a pictures of our route and some of  the scenery from today's ride.

https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1942987668?share_unique_id=50 Today was another fine day.  It was a cold start at 50 degrees.   Shortly after leaving the campground,  we were flagged down by a local who told us our friends  (fellow cyclists) were at the general store having coffee,  so that is where we ended up. The theme for the day was crossings.  If you look at the GPS data,  it shows we crossed over a mountain range.   Next we crossed the Appalachian Trail.   Finally,  we crossed into New York state. Tom and I got to cook tonight.  Each night,  two of us shop, cook and clean up for the group.  Tonight we made Taco Salad,  which went over pretty well.

https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/1979270457?share_unique_id=88 Today we cycled from Williamsburg to Suffolk,  Virginia.   Hard to belive that we have cycled nearly 300 miles since leaving Washington DC on Monday. Highlights from today were taking a ferryboat across the James River and miles of corn, soybeans and what we thing are peanuts.   Also worth mentioning is the fact that our 1000 feet plus days of climbing are behind us (yeah) and we are staying in an air conditioned bunk house tonight. We pretty much take things day to day out on the road, but we are keeping an eye on the destruction in the Florida Keys and wondering if we can make it to the original end of the ride.  Also, we are watching Jose and wondring about conditons on the outer banks when we get there Sunday.  Oh well, it is an adventure.
