Day 41: Rest day in Erie, PA

The road so far:

Miles traveled: 2,822.35 miles

Elevation gained: 85,007 feet

The road yet to come:

Miles to go: 608.8 miles

Elevation to gain: 22,339 feet

It’s actually day 42 already and I’m already in Buffalo, NY, but I’m determined to catch up. Writing these posts a day or two after the fact is not an easy task, as one day blurs into the next.

In any event, Erie was the nicest place we’ve stayed at thus far in my opinion, and the hotel was gorgeous and was located right on the lake. With that said, it was a day for getting errands done and for trying to get caught up. As such, I spent a good part of the day napping, eating, washing my bike, washing my clothes, and finishing up the last of my souvenir shopping. I did also manage to get a few nice pictures, however. 

Brief explanation: if you submit a picture of yourself to my company’s HR department while wearing a company t-shirt while on vacation, they publish it in the company newsletter. As a result, I’ve been taking pictures on each of the rest days and submitting them.

Anyway, tomorrow (today?) is another riding day and another state line crossing. New York, here I come! New York is yet ANOTHER state that borders New Jersey, so I’m starting to get really close now!
