We left today to Bloomsburg where we hoped a bike shop is located. on the way we went through Freeland, where we saw signs for the cross PA bike trail that we cant seem to download information about. But it wasn't going our way. Some hills along the way, but not bad. After Freeland more hills, but on back country roads so not too bad again, no walking. Then there was route 93.....BIG FREAKIN HILL!!!!!! Seemed about 3 miles long. Still well graded, so first gear and up and over. Hell of a downhill, could never see the bottom, so kept it in the 15 mph range as I wasn't sure I could stop anything faster. They had a 15 mile an hour limit on trucks going down. We got passed by a big truck riding his jake break, loud and unnerving as it was a big ditch next to us, but as far as we know we were unscathed. Pics from the day.
We haven't left the campgrounds.. wardrobe change
more and more color
I was think of my sister peg with the patchwork on the roads, one big quilt. not too bad until a long downhill :)
Who can identify this plant, seems to be lots of it and rotated with corn.
For some reason Barb likes milk weed (childhood thing) so here is a pic
Almost to Bloomsburg as we cross the Susquehanna River.
42 miles to our hotel, unload our gear and 12 mile round trip to bike shop. GREAT service, not to mention I have all my gears now. had to replace cable and sheath, less than 20 bucks with material and labor. For some reason we were spent, so quick dinner and BED!!!
