Day 3

Start: Boonton, NJ
End: Long Pond, PA
Distance today: 83.3
Total:136.3

Wow.. so far Pennsylvania has been so much more enjoyable than New Jersey. (sorry for anyone from NJ). It's just so nice to have a marked bike route instead of improvising through NJ where county routes all of a sudden decide to be limited access highways. On more than one occasion, we had to hop over the median of a highway to avoid a sudden unexpected on-ramp...

Long-ish day, although I'm hoping to be averaging more than 80 miles by the end of this thing...

I still don't think the scope of this undertaking has completely set in... Pennsylvania looks like a long state, and there are a WHOLE LOT of states to go after it...

Here's a picture of Michele near the Delaware Water Gap.

  1. A marked bike route? Thru PA? Great... there must be East/West valleys somewhere.

    Decided against the fenders?

    Go West... live the day, not the miles.

  2. I hear there's kind of a "Big Water Gap" from LA to Hawaii. What's your plan when you get there?

  3. There are actually lots of marked routes through PA. Three east-west, and several north-south. Do a google search for Pennsylvania bike routes. We started on route V, headed south on route G, and will finish out the state on route S...

    And yes, we are crazy. ;)
