Today we had a day of climbing, of which we have not had to this degree for a while. We had to climb 3,700 feet today and some of the grades were very steep, but fortunately, not the length of the western mountain climbs we had weeks ago. We biked along side of another large Finger Lake today, Cayuga Lake. At the south end of the lake is the city of Ithica. After leaving a stop light in downtown, there was a climb that had to be at least a 10 degree grade.
Julie is final SAG sweep tonight and I think she will have a very long day as some bikers were having trouble with the hills and may need to be picked up. I am tired, but did manage to arrive at Chenango Forks H. S. were we are camped tonight, at about 2:15. That included a coffee and cinnamon roll stop in the morning
We rode through several small towns today that date back to the late 1700s. I noticed one historical sign highlighting the area as a concentration of Dutch Reformed immigrants.
Tonight, we are the guests for dinner at a local CR church just down the street from our camp.
Love to all, P & J.
