Fredonia, NY to Girard, PA
It was a drizzly day to our next stop just 53 miles away. As vineyards lined the whole route, sweet Welch's grape aromas stayed with us throughout the ride. We anticipated Erie to be more similar to…
We enjoyed delicious breakfasts and wonderful service at the Heartland Inn including a vegan mushroom & Swiss burger, pumpkin french toast, veggie omelettes, and the most ENORMOUS cinnamon bun we’ve ever witnessed.
We were glad to have missed the worst of a storm passing through the area and the opportunity to take care of indoor errands in such a charming place that was frequented by locals. After a good rest, we were sent off from Girard by the lovely Heartland staff and began a windy and hilly ride to Rose Point Park Campground. It cost 70 miles of fighting the elements and elevation along farmland-lined roads. We set up camp in our second New Castle of the trip and enjoyed a campsite beside a quiet stream.
