August 24th, 2021

Our journey began on Tuesday, August 24th. We had hardly gotten the bikes out the basement door when we met Joe who we recognized from salsa dancing a few weeks ago! He shared some stories with us and wished us well, one of the first of many to do so today. After a sendoff from the house, we went on our way to start the 60-mile day. We followed tree-lined roads along the Brandywine and Schuylkill Rivers for a mostly shady but hot ride, making sure to include our favorite "roller coaster" road (Twadell Mill). Temperatures got up to 90ºF, so a stop at Trek for a needed part and some ice cold water felt incredible. We ended the day staying with Greg's sister who made us a lovely dinner and breakfast.
