Tom's Cross Country Ride

Today was a rest day in Erie PA. In the four days since leaving Richmond IN Sunday morning, we have ridden 386 miles with just under 12, 000 feet of climbing. I needed a day off.

I did join the Crossroads staff for a short 20 mile ride out to Presque Isle State Park. It was a leisurely, scenic ride, on a narrow strip of land that extends out into Lake Erie. We enjoyed a nice breeze off the lake, shade most of the way, a lot of good conversation.

We did come across a cool little diner in the park. Unfortunately we arrived about 30 minutes before opening time so we left with just a few pictures. After the ride, Rick treated the group to ice cream at a little shop in town a few blocks from the hotel.

After the ride, Peyton did a little maintenance on my bike, I cleaned it up, and then I did some laundry. Followed that up with a few beers and dinner, and a walk by the lake shore. Should be ready for tomorrow’s 92 mile ride to Buffalo NY. Thanks for following along.
