Today is Labour Day and the cycling was relatively short, only 30 miles.  We rode through Valley Forge National Park and Lancaster County.   The scenery was fantastic and we saw many recreational cyclists.

The highlight of the day was seeing Sally from the Southern Tier ride in 2014.  She lives in Philadelphia and came out and rode with us for much of the day.

Tomorrow is a short say, but there is a strong possibly of rain in the forecast.

The only pictures taken were of Sally and the other folks from the 2014 ride.

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.

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.
