Day 50, E. Springfield, Pennsylvania to Angola, New York




Ride distance: 93 miles; ride time: 4:36; cumulative distance: 3,269 miles; average speed: 20.2 mph; calories: 6507; ascent: 1875 feet; descent: 2051 feet. This morning, we had breakfast with our host families. Zack and I stayed with Janice. She was dog sitting a very energetic chocolate lab called Luba who gave us lots of attention. After a slurppy send-off from Luba, we were on our way again. At one of our rest stops, we had pieces of a birthday cake that was brought over from Ireland for Johnny Young’s birthday. It had started out round but had changed shape considerably in transit. (It still tasted fine though). We had some tailwinds today so we made good time. Tonight, were staying in a Pioneer Camp which is a Christian Camp. It has an excellent location on the shore of Lake Erie and excellent facilities. We went out to eat at a family restaurant run by Christians that opened up just for us. They normally close at 4 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays but the staff came back to work to serve us at 6 p.m. We’ll be having breakfast with them tomorrow morning.
