Sept 10/07 Monday D 129.92 km M55.6 A 19.3 PT6 h41 RT 9h total 2480.2 km
Wind: Incredible amount of wind mostly from back but lots from side trying to push me into the traffic
Temp 45F 5C Cool dewy morning. Time changed at state line so 7am start
Road Conditions: good shoulder but some frost heaves. Long day going up and down turning like a snake. Ran into Derryl our recumbent cyclist along the way
Accommodations: decided to go on to Van Hook CG supposedly on the lake, but not really. Old CG on site of a old town. $6 per tent NO WATER other than sludge!
FOOD Breakfast: usual fruit
Lunch: Lunds Landing picnic on their tables as closed
Supper bowl of great soup in New Town, ice crème at the café on the hiway just before turning to CG so just snacks after that
Overall Well the hills seemed to go on and on and on. Anna said it was roller coasterish but it was “collie after collie” We found Derryl our recumbent cyclist sitting in the ditch having a snack so we went on together. The wind was very strong and when it came from the back it was great just pushing us along like a wind surfer, but when it came from the side in gusts I had the breaks on full blast! Very tired by the end of the day. Fun to have someone else to talk to too.
