(^160) Pennsylvania
Geneva State Park – Erie - 95 km
The weather was stunning as I set off along Lake Erie, and it wasn’t
long before the road crossed into the state of Pennsylvania, founded
in 1681 as a Quaker Community.
The day’s ride finished in Erie where I camped on the banks of the
lake. It was a convenient spot, but a storm came in during the night,
and I feared the tent wouldn’t be able to withstand the high wind.
There was nothing I could do but crawl out in the bucketing rain, peg
in the guy ropes as best I could, and return to my tent, sopping wet.
Fortunately, the storm passed quickly, and although it rained
throughout the night, the high winds subsided. Phew!
Erie – Dunkirk - 87 km
By morning the weather cleared, and it became a beautiful day on
the bike. Not wanting to cycle to the falls in a day, I decided to split
the ride into two shorter days. A leisurely ride ran through vineyards
to Dunkirk and Midway. Along the way, the road led me out of
Pennsylvania and across the border into New York.
