Breakfast was again the hotel complimentary (doughnuts + cereal + muffins) as the arranged place had a broken water main.
At about 6-20am, I left the hotel for plan B – the 90 mile ride (as opposed to 71 miles.) The sky was initially heavily overcast, with thunder cells, but cleared up after about 11am. The wind was medium strength and mostly a cross/head wind with some tail wind pushes.
The road rolled up and down and was generally of good quality. No punctures for the day! But, about 10 miles out, the back STI stopped working so I was stuck in 9th gear. Great for trying to pedal downhill!! Anyway, it started working again about ½ a mile out!
While completing the 91.8 mile ride in 5hrs 12m with a max of 35.5, we passed through Jamesport which is a town surrounded by the largest Amish community in the state. No horse drawn wagons were sighted!
Scenery was NZ like – as on Sunday – animal paddocks and crops etc.
Dinner was another Golden Corral menu plus buffet – good stuff!
