Update from the road on day 7, sitting in a NY diner. Last night we finished the Underground Railroad Pittsburgh spur and camped on the shore of Lake Erie, two days of 75 miles and 114 miles. There was so much packed into two days: heavy industrial landscapes as we left Pittsburgh, many crossings of the Ohio river, some testing little climbs, Amish country, miles and miles of open countryside, Pete’s back brake failing, replacing it under an awning as a huge thunderstorm rolled by, getting completely soaked, hitting our first century distance as we raced the sunset to the PA/NY state line, and lastly watching the sunset from camp on the shore of Lake Erie. A really great two days.

Great photos! You will see beautiful sunsets on Lake Ontario also. Rich & I attended college in Oswego, so give a wave for us!
Thanks Glenna! Lake Ontario tomorrow, hoping to camp on the shores somewhere.
Like the food pictures. Gotta keep that calorie count up! One of the main reasons I love bike touring.
Exactly! Not having much problem keeping the calorie count high so far 😉
