Today was a rest day. It sure felt great to be off the bike for a while, and hopefully we'll feel rejuvenated tomorrow. I was incredibly hot today too... we saw 96 in Ithaca.
Ithaca was great to us! We got our bikes fixed last night, and finished up some more mine repairs today. I played with my seat height, filled my tires, lubed my chain, and got my pedal working again. We also successfully changed Jason's tire. Great!
We had a great time hanging out in the city too. Carla took us swimming at first dam, which actually isn't really a dan, but just a big cool rocky swimming place. We almost watch a kid jump about 50 feet into shallow water, but luckily he didn't, and we distribution have to see someone die. We met up with Carla's friends Kaiya, Emily, and Abby, and got lunch with them downtown. After, we went and explored a gorge at Treman State Park. Epic.
We went out to dinner with Carla's Dad, stepmom, stepbrother, and his girlfriend. We had some strange dinner conversation, but we had a great time. We also met the wife of the drummer of Blue Oyster Cult. Cool? Thanks to Carla and her family for taking us in for a day and a half and buying us food. We appreciate it so much.
So, we're reset. Laundry's done, bikes are fixed, some gear was unloaded, and we're fed and rested. We're ready to get back on the bicycle.
Tomorrow: Somewhere 20-30 miles west of Corning, NY. Maybe at a commune?
