only a quick update tonight cos im doing it by phone and were starting early tomorrow. the morning started slowly with an excellent breakfast made by daves dad. i ate a ton and then he helped me tie down my bags with a better solution than duct tape. clutch. i am extremely grateful for his help.
the best part of the day was the honor of having dave ride with us. he played harmonica while riding all day- it was awesome. we were like a parade rolling through towns though the fanfare was minimal. climbing the berkshire mountains was rough. an underrated chain if i do say so myself. the views were nice but it took a heavy toll on my back. miles ten through fifty were rough. lunch at the old country grocery store was awesome. we met some supportive people and ate delicious food. the afternoon was smooth and we made it to ny. the highlight was meeting some hippies in lebanon who gave us great advice- if you run out of money, just make a cardboard sign that says broke, biking across the country. we will keep it in mind.
the campround is great in nassau. it is run by a guy named the head ramrod. hilarious. everyone in town is off at the nascar race. you cant make this stuff up. hopefully we can dodge him in the morning. our exact destination for tomorrow is unknown. as always thanks for the continuous support, i love it.
love
jason.
