Woah, double digits! Today was a pretty good day, all and all. We rode 99 miles from Bath, NY to Salamanca, NY. We really debated doing an extra mile to hit the century but inevitably decided against it. We'll get it eventually...
The day started off in a pretty rough manner. In our first 50 minutes, we rode 3.7 miles. the hills were just attrocious. We did get to bike along with some deer thins morning though, which was pretty cool. Jason had to hit the breaks to avoid them. Nice.
From there the day got a lot better though. The land finally leveled out and we were able to really bang out a lot of miles. The weather was a lot better today too. It was mid-70's, which is pretty much an ideal riding temperature.
We ate lunch in Angelica, NY at this nice little place called the Acoustic Cafe. We've been doing so well with lunches. Hopefully we'll be able to keep that up. After lunch a couple doing a motorcycle tour chatted with us for a few minutes, and got our picture. Hopefully we'll get to end up in lots of random people's photo albums.
The second half of the day was pretty uneventful. We got a lot of flat ground and really cranked out the mileage. We decided to not stay in Allegany State Park since we were getting in after they closed, as well as avoiding some hills by going elsewhere. So we're at Elkdale RV Park, where they're letting us put up our tents. Sweet.
Hopefully we'll be getting out of New York and into Pennsylvania tomorrow mid-day. I'm pretty pumped to get out of this state. Oh and by the way, Salamanca, NY is really high on my list of places that I never want to come to again.
Tomorrow: Titusville, PA
