These Hills, They Just Keep A'Rollin' On

3 75+ mile days out of the last 4 through the foothills and right into the Appalachian Mountains in Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania have left the legs sore, but have rewarded all with spectacular views and fast descents. Only more to come in the next couple days as tomorrow we push 65 miles with over 7000 vertical feet of climbing. A couple pics above of the best view so far (in my humble opinion) from the top of an overpass is NY. Great day of riding with Marie (1st picture), Evan (2nd picture), Pat, and Nathan. From here it was almost 3 miles of continuous downhill into Evansville NY. Fun!






We finished the day in White Lake, NY and stayed with Pastor Dave at their summer camp cabins. I spent the night out under the stars while everyone else chose to enjoy one of the few opportunities to grab a mattress for the night. I was suprised to wake at 4:30 to find a cow from the fields below had decided to cross the fence and sample the more tender grass around the cabins. Great light in this picture before anyone else was up.
