Day 9: Ithaca, NY to Bath, NY- 64 miles

Grueling day. We awoke and had an awesome breakfast at Carla's saying bye was rough but it was time to get on the road. After a victory lap around the parking lot downtown (thanks google maps) we were on our way.

It got warmer and warmer all day. Hot and humid. Lunch was great at a little place in Burdett that called itself "a bike feed zone". We spent the entire day climbing and riding down mountains, mostly the former. The peaks were non-stop. The views were majestic but the hills were insane. I guess we dropped the ball on directions. The hills after Watkins Glen were especially treacherous.

We wound up at "Camper's Haven" campground. Rock solid tenting in our own private area down by the creek. Crashed early knowing that the next day would be early and long. It was not our best day and spirits were a little down. My knee felt much better after some rest. Hot, humid, hilly- the bad 3 Hs.

Love
Jason
