Thursday 22nd July 1999 -> Syracuse, PA

Breakfast was at 7am at Denny’s off the menu. Some people had to wait over an hour for service. The food was usual quality.

I left about 7-45am under an overcast sky with a gentle wind. The road was generally good but included some “grooved road.” We turned a few times and had a few stretches of noticeable head and tail winds – nothing more than 10kmh-1.

A big rig gave me a bit of a tow through a town for about a minute up to 29mph. Scenery was more of the same – a few crops, houses, tree lined roads etc. Nothing exciting at all!

I arrived about 11-20am at the hotel which is miles from town. This was after 64.2 miles in 3hrs 22m with a maximum of 38.4 mph.

Along the way I met a man taking his weed eater for a walk – better than a chainsaw!

Dinner was the usual standard buffer in the hotel plus bottomless coke and or iced tea.
