We were up at 6 and on the road a little after 730. Thats by far our earliest start, but we knew there was a big day ahead. We said our goodbyes to camper's haven and headed out. The hills were brutal early on. It took us 45 minutes to get our first 3 and a half miles in. That's not good. Also, the pain in my knee came back a bit, but not as severe as pre-Ithaca. I took two Advil and was fine the rest of the day.
After the first 15to 20 miles or so things got much better and flatter. The towns were all very "rural" and similar. We ended up getting a great lunch at black eyed susan's cafe in Angelica, NY. I housed a burger, sandwich, side of home fries, and chips. The afternoon was high mileage, but the riding was pretty nice. We rolled through NY steadily until we hit Salamanca- what a horrible place. One of the absolute worst towns I have ever seen. Dirty, abandonded, smelly bleh. The RV place we're staying at is fine and out of town a little. Tomorrow should be another 90+ mile day so it's off the bed soon. Hopefully my knee feels ok. We're crossing into PA. Very exciting. We also had some issues with motorists, hopefully that doesnt continue. Thanks everyone for the continued support.
Love
Jason
