The day began with about a 7 mile climb at a 6-9 percent grade. Nothing like seeing the US at 8mph! We stopped in the first town where there was a lady wandering outside the local store. We mentioned that one of our riders, Penny, was coming, and she started to talk about how she just found a lucky penny which she in turn gave to Penny. Then she asked about where we were going and asked where and later what we were sleeping on. We told her tents and camping pads, and she told us she would be softer than any of our mattresses. I kind of felt bad for her.
The rest of the day was some beautiful "rolling mountains"
and ended with a 7 mile decline. I have never hated going down hill as much as I did today. My trailer will fish-tail if I go faster than about 25mph, so my hands hurt by the end from braking so much. On top of that, my brakepads are getting too thin for comfort. Luckily it looks we pass a bike shop tomorrow.
I wasn't sure how this place would be, and I found the fact that it was an "Adult RV-Park" somewhat interesting. It turned out to be a great place, and the owner was kind enough to drive us to the grocery store.
