Feet climbing per mile: 61
Record of the day's ride:https://ridewithgps.com/trips/228873106
After riding a few miles from Lancaster I was traveling through farm land.
These horses work for their food and lodging.
The picture makes the horse look like a statue but it was a real horse.
I stopped at Hayloft Ice Cream and had a soft pretzel. It was so good I had two!
The sign below was in Hayloft Ice Cream. Despite my atheism, I like the message because I agree that the challenges we face help us to grow.
I was inspired by the cow I saw yesterday.
It seems that somebody had such a wonderful experience putting his or her feet in the water that the socks were left behind.
I had a long conversation about touring with Jeremy, whom I met at the covered bridge.
As Jeremy and I were speaking I noticed a bulge in my front tire and realized the rim did not have a flat spot. The bulge was caused by the tire starting to become unseated.
I deflated the tire, reseated it, and refilled it. All is well!
The well-paved trail near the end of the day’s ride was a welcome relief from the rush-hour traffic.
I stopped at Pink Moose, where I stopped the second day of my big trip in 2019, and enjoyed a bowl of tomato basil soup.
I spent the night at Staybridge Suites, where I thoroughly enjoyed their swimming pool and their free dinner.
