6 Days on the Road

The winds were still pretty strong when I woke up.  I couldn’t really get a directional read on it until I got back to the highway.  Much to my delight, it was a strong tailwind coming out of the SW.   It pushed me all day long.   It was a perfect day for touring with temperatures in the mid-upper 70s.  The roads in Pennsylvania and NY were in very good condition with a 4’ shoulder all the way.    There was the sweet smell of grapes as I passed numerous vineyards and wineries.   Views of Lake Erie were always on my left.   With the wind at my back I rode 88 miles to Irving, NY.
