We Have a Day and a Night in Pennsylvania

July 14 Day 43 100 miles

We were able to continue on back roads with light traffic almost all the way to Erie, PA, where we spend the night. There are still many homes and small farms. The group got split up during the middle of the day, but many of us reconnected at the second SAG stop at a dairy bar. An ice cream shake never tasted so good.

We were early for hotel check-in, so Michael and I rode out onto Lake Erie, via the peninsula stretching out into the lake. We were able to look back on some of the city from there.

We left Youngstown under sunny skies.

We rode with Ray and Leonard for awhile in the morning .

There were ample opportunities for water........And a morning SAG in an empty lot.

We enjoyed watching the scenery in all its variety. We are starting to see wineries. There are still lots of farms, and we came across a covered bridge today.

This was a fun and very busy dairy bar, where we stopped for refreshments .

Near the end of the day, we crossed into Pennsylvania, our 10th state.

We also discovered a farm stand with the freshest strawberries. They have never tasted so good.

The extra ride onto the Lake Erie bike path made this into a century.
