The adventure ended yesterday in Key West after and interesting 54 mile ride.  We planned to start at 8:30, but it was raining.  I caught a picture of a rainbow and if you look closely,  you can see Rob cycling.

The ride was again assisted by a nice tailwind and the quickest ride of the tour.   We got to the southernmost point at about 1 pm, completing the 2900 ride.

We took photos at the famous marker (damaged by Irma) and then did the customary dipping of the front wheel.

It was a lot of fun competing the journey with Rob.  It was quite an adventure from start to finish.

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.
