Everyone woke up early to say goodbye to us. (Even Mark T
and Mike!) Mark T and Mike headed back to Syracuse and Steve to Buffalo. We
headed out in pouring rain to get Rully's chain tightened on his bike and to
buy Ross and Rully some wet weather gear for the trip. (The both looked like
big blue jelly beans.) An hour out of Wadsworth the rain stopped and a few
hours from Strousberg the sun came out. We peeled all the wet weather gear off
and rode the rest of the way in comfort. It was strange just the four of us without the other four. Gas stops were a lot shorter. Hopefully an early night tonight ready
for Manhattan in the morning. Total
miles today 399 and 4,851 miles for the total trip. We try and ring Ann Greene (the relation who put us up in LA) every couple of days because she went through the process of buying the bikes. She should have bought herself a bike and rode with us.
We are almost right across the country. One more stop in New York City and we head north to Maine and hopefully the Puffin colony.
