Bike Heaven

So there's this road, in case you didn't know, that runs from New York City all the way to Seattle, Washington. There are no hills, it's shade covered, but sunny everyday, and there are no cars on it, ever! If only it were true. There is a road like this, but it only runs from Washington, D.C. to Pittsburgh. We got on it between Rockwood, PA and West Newton and it was the most amazing bike trail in the world (granted, I'll keep looking for a better one, just to make sure).




We camped along the way near Connelsville, at this funny trailor park along the Youghiogheny ( pronounced yah-kuh-GAIN-ee - ha, the english language).
- This is sunrise the next morning =)





Our second day on the path, Lara got another flat that we fixed in the morning and then it became flat AGAIN on the road!! There was a hole in the tire itself, so putting new tubes in was a waste and we resorted to emergency measures and made a boot out of hay type grass to protect the rim. I called it Franken-wheel. And Lara rode on it the 10 miles to the next bike shop in West Newton. Props =)




This is going to be a bit out of order, because before we got to bike heaven we were also in Orrtanna at an Elephant museum!! and in Ohiopyle (ohio-pyle) visiting the falls and at Falling Water, the Frank Lloyd Wright house, and camping in some generous persons lovely backyard outside of Somerset and fixing bikes and the stove, and playing with thousands of kittens, marveling at a mole! and drinking a celebratory beer for our 500 mile marker!! and, and, and - a picture is worth a thousand words...
