Well, I have slacked off the blogging for a few days.   As you can tell from the blurred photo, looks like I have stopped cleaning the lense on my phone camera too, sorry.

The last week we have cycled about 400 miles through North Carolina.  The trip total is over 1800 miles.

While not blogging and riding, we have had lots of fun.   For the past 5 days, we have been able to swim in the ocean after cycling (or on the route) which has been wonderful.

Tomorrow is a big day.   We enter South Carolina and will cover nearly 90 miles.  

Also, it has been decided that the ride will end 4 days early in Fort Lauderdale.   The Key's are still in  very fragile condition and if it is even possible to get to the end, it is doubtful it would be much fun.

The map shows the next week or so of our adventure.

    How nice to be able to take a dip after working so hard. Isn't it hard to put those cycling clothes back on after skinny dipping??

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/1948392624?share_unique_id=56 Today was a quick and easy 26 miles.  Since this is a 10 day stretch of riding says, today is essentially a rest day. Highlights of the day were the rolling hills and crossing into New Jersey.   We are making a big swing around New York city.   It showed a bit in the aggression of the drivers.   I was cut off twice in the first 5 miles.  Nothing serious or dangerous,  just  not the friendly courtesy from drivers  which we have come to expect. I have a couple of pictures of the countryside.   Nothing to dramatic on the short ride.
