The completed route. The ride along the Niagara River Parkway in Canada is beautiful. I'm sure it's also nice when it doesnt rain. "Stay dry", said a guy at the hotel. "Not a chance" was my response. Key is to embrace the liquid sunshine.
48 days and 2500 miles

I just got a tour lock 7 of the Eri Canal in NY. It's fully functional and a boat went through it while I was there. So cool!

I survived another cold night in my tent. Tomorrow and the night after will be below 40 degrees. Not a chance to sleep with my lightweight sleeping bag in these temperatures. I'm trying to find some alternatives.

Tough day. Lots of road riding with hills and headwinds. 80 miles today.
I have to remind myself of all the good parts earlier in the day: 2,000 miles, awsome Hudson crossing, an awsome trail.
I hope it doesn't get too cold tonight with the wind and platform.

Yesterday was my longest day with 98 miles.
This morning I reached 2000 miles as I crossed the Hudson River. Really beautiful views too.

In Ocean City, NJ. It would have been a bingo mark, had I not ridden so much around town. 41 miles today.
I still have no clue how far or where I'll sleep tomorrow. Tomorrow the route is taking me inland before taking me to the coast at Seaside Hights.

For some strange reason a $30 campsite becomes $42. And the $4 ReserveAmerica tax cant be avoided because the attendant at the no longer takes payments.

Headwinds, chip sealed road, traffic throwing rocks at me thants to the road), muscel starts hurting, rear end of course, too. For some strange reason this is a bussy backroad, too. I'm ready to quit for this day. 8 more miles though.

Look at all these corn and soybean fields. I must have been riding in a circle and ended up in Iowa again after 1,600 miles. 🤷♂️

It's not over yet. My extended goal will be riding up the east coast to NYC. A WS host is shutteling me across the Bay Bridge and then it'll go up along the coast region. But first a couple rest days in DC.

Wow, I'm at the last C&O camp before DC. Tomorrow I finish my extended goal (initial goal was the eastern IA border). Yesterday I rode 60 miles and today 50 miles.

Also yesterday we moved camp from noisy rail yard (first C&O camp) to noisy rail tracks (2nd C&O camp). Not sure it helped a lot but we had to setup camp in the dark. (Another bingo card item.)

"The truckers were great at this point. A fair number of them honked, saluted, waved, or gave me a thumbs up. Little things like that helped."

"That was such a nice ride that it kindled some hopes that the whole trip could be sweet with only a bit of sweat."

Only 36 miles today but lot of road and steep hills. No fun. Needed to take a shuttle across the Ohio River because the only bridge here doesn't allow bikes. Staying at a hotel in Weirton to clean up.
Got a new sticker!
