The temperature yesterday was in the low 90s, and the forecast for today was for more of the same. Cait and Bill were up and around the house fairly early getting things ready, not only breakfast, but they were going to ride their tandem and accompany us for the first part of our day's ride. Since they're cyclists, they know what cyclists need for breakfast, and Cait did a great job in providing a delicious and nourishing meal. We had decided to ride on PA 611, and last night Bill had given me a virtual ride on the computer along that route. We departed this morning at 8:30 AM, and they rode along to help us get to PA 611 as easily as possible. We saw several cyclists, and we commented that we had seen more cyclists since we entered Pennsylvania than we had seen on the rest of the entire trip. Of course, the warm weekend weather contributed to this, but Bill and Cait confirmed that there are a lot of active cyclists and cycling clubs in the area. After getting us near our planned route, they headed off on their own ride and we headed north. Part of the route was through small towns, and part was along country roads through farming and dairy country. Our destination was a small town that had a restaurant and hotel right by the Delaware River, the only one in town. The restaurant turned out to be a great choice, but the hotel left much to be desired. It consoled us to know that we only had a couple of more nights when we'd be forced to spend the night in the only hotel in town.
