Today was one of our most difficult. We had a headwind all day. We peddled almost 8 hrs! The weather was cool (low 60s) which was good but also misty and some rain.
We rode through a small section of Pennsylvania so this was a 3 state day. There were quite a few vineyards and wineries.
We rode/walked our bikes through downtown Erie, PA. They were having a bike event and lots of signs said "welcome bikers". I felt very special until I realized it was a motorcycle event. They expected 100,000 bikers. Biking through town seemed like it took forever.
We finally reached our destination and it is very close to the lake. A couple about our age toasted us with local wine. They also took the picture of us in front of the lake.
We will now head toward Buffalo where we will take Route 5 across the state. We feel like we are getting close!
For those who wanted food reports we had grilled fish at the only bar/cafe here. It was good. Other food for today was a breakfast sandwich at McD (only place open when we left), bagel and peanut butter snack; 2 second breakfast of oatmeal (Sharon) & eggs, hashbrowns, toast (Ron); shared Hoagie sandwich and baclava from a bakery on route. I think we got our calories replaced.
