Today was an 87 mile ride from Washington to confluence PA. A large portion of todays ride was on a bike trail so that meant that we had limited access to our support. The trail was packed limestone, which made for a rough ride but the scenery more than made up for it. I wanted to stop and take pictures everywhere. I called it the magical forest. At one point a deer jumped across the path right in front of us. There were beautiful wooden bridges, walls of rocks, running water, and tall trees. It was nice to be shaded. I was jealous of the people I saw kayaking, rafting, and canoeing. I wonder if they were jealous of me riding my bike...uh....probably not. Fred Husak, a 2000 alumni hosted a lunch for us that was great. Thanks to him and his family. Near the end of the ride some people decided to go see falling water, a frank Lloyd wright house. I opted not to go because it was an extra 3.5 miles up a steep climb, plus after 4 days of riding I was desperate to do laundry. I took a shower, enjoyed $12 night at the lucky dog, then went into town to find a laundromat. Quiet time sneaks up fast. Good night.
