Left at usual early time of 6:30 am and had a most awesome ride. The first 20 miles were on a detour route for bicycles since a bridge was out on my main road. My motel clerk was able to print out a detailed guide with every road name, how far to go on that road and which way to turn next. Loved it.
The next 16 miles had a decent shoulder and was fairly flat until the last mile into town, one of the biggest hills I’ve had to ride. But I stayed in my middle chain ring.
The last 11 miles were not so great, pitso shoulder, more traffic than the last 20 miles and hot. But, hey, that’s always the case at the end of the day. Makes you appreciate it when you get to the end.
I took a picture of this fantastic garden of hostas but I guess because I’m out in the boonies, I can’t get it to upload. Maybe tomorrow.
I’m finally camping but i know I’m going to get wet. Thunder is rumbling and the skies aren’t pretty. But it is the first campground I’ve been able to find on my route and I’m not carrying this tent just to build muscles. Lots of campers here.
This park was where my family came once in a while to swim. Geez, that was 55-60 years ago.
Tuna for supper again. And tomorrow I should be at my brother’s. I’ll take a day off and then head north to Canada.
