Gettysburg!!!


Ok, it is really hard to imagine that we have ridden our bicycles 3,229 miles from Seattle to Gettysburg in 45 days, but we have.  Day 45 was one of the tougher days of the ride, 102 miles and over 7300 feet of climbing.  And that is after a 90 mile day with 7,800 feet of climbing.  Pennsylvania is definitely the toughest state we have had to cross.  Now all we have to do is ride 100 miles in 2 days to arrive in Washington DC on August 3rd.  Thanks to the Hannover Bicycle Club for providing dinner to us on Wednesday night and for the guided bicycle tour of the Gettysburg Battlefield on Thursday (our last rest day)!  We were once again blessed by good weather on our ride to Gettysburg, cool weather and a light tailwind.  The forecast looks good all the way into DC!
