Friday May 23Travelogue | Notes...
Max Speed: 35.5 mph Total Riding Time: 5:57:20 Trip Mileage: 60:30 Total Mileage to Date: 249 Wake Up Time: 7am Leave Time: 9:30am Wrote 7:15am... Woke Up a few minutes ago and it's chilly again. I'll check the maps to see what my next destination is. Wrote 11:20am... Left camp and took Route 897 south to Route 340 west. 340 is a very nice road with gently rolling hills with wide shoulders and light traffic. Just stopped at a family restaurant in the town of Bird In Hand, Pennsylvania (what a silly name for a town) hoping to get breakfast, but they are now serving lunch. Remember Mike Douglas in the movie "Falling Down?" Ha, ha... Will continue bicycling west on 340 to Route 462. Finished eating a delicious grilled chicken salad. Wrote 8:28pm... In camp now (Cedar Lake Campground) on Pine Hill Road off Route 234 west in Dover, Pennsylvania. Arrived around 6pm and put in a lot of miles. When I came in to register for a camping spot the woman asked for $18.00! I politely asked why so much because all others were in the $10.00 range. She then made it $15.00. Insead of going to a 7-11 for food I decided to pay back the favor by buying my supplies from her. I bought a few food stuffs such as a loaf of bread, Oscar Meyer sliced salami, 12-pack of Pop Tarts and a bottle of apple juice. Took a shower and I'm ready to turn in. When I left Bird In Hand I took Route 462 west instead of US Route 30 west because it started turning into more of a multi-lane interstate highway. 462 took me through Lancaster and a few other towns like York. I then took Route 234 west and now I was bicycling on tiny back roads with roller coaster hills, which I had to walk up then off a side road to camp. I dread the ride back out the campground tomorrow. YOUR COMMENTS
