Another hot day and that old head wind. What a beautiful ride? Rolling hills, expansive farmlands, going in and out of Maryland and Pennsylvania stopping at the Gettysburg Civil war memorials and crossing the Susquehanna River as a heavy thunderstorm began and ended our biking. When we entered Amish country it was cart after cart on the road, Amish working their fields, beautiful farms and plenty of photographs. Early in the morning we had endless views of the rolling hills and farms with a beautiful mist overlying the valley as the sun rose.
It was hard to maintain a good speed as some of the hills in 90 degree heat were steep. Not as long as the day before but more often. Another 10000 feet of ascent for the day. As I type this the thunder is cracking outside of our hotel room . The Buknell boys rode strong as usual and put us old guys to the test.
Tonight we have our final dinner with and say goodbye to our Penn friends. Tomorrow it’s 110 miles to the Trump Plaza in Atlantic City. I hope the rain holds off until we arrive and put ours bikes in the Atlantic
