Breakfast was at Dennys off the menu about a mile down the road and off course. The food was solid and service reasonably prompt. I left about 7-20am.
There was a light mist in a virtually still day. Road surfaces were generally good and the scenery was a few corn fields with tree lined roads and increasing suburbia.
The only sag stop was at47.5 miles in an old, disused, covered bridge. This was also off route! I pushed the last 2.5 miles at 24-25mph into the sag and cruised the rest of the basically flat day with just a few rolls. HR was 105-130 and to 150 when pushed.
A wind picked up later in the day and it was head / cross or tail wind depending on which road we were on! Its effect was not great in any case.
I arrived about 12-30pm after 92.5 miles (plus to Dennys) in 4hrs 52m with a max of 31.0mph to find the hotel room not ready until 3pm! Great service from another state – Pennsylvania.
Cycling for the week included over 657km in just the 4 days Thursday – Sunday inclusive – the rest day will be welcomed by most riders! Total riding was 894.1km (555.7 miles) in 30.0 hours with an average of 29.8kmh-1 (18.5mph) and a maximum of 62.4kmh-1 (38.8mph). An interesting week!
Dinner was an average buffet in the hotel, including dessert.
