After several days of rain delay I took the day off and rode to New York City from Lancaster--at least as far as I could get. I rode 145 miles, stopping at 640pm at Metropark Train Station in Edison NJ, 145 miles from home. I might have made it farther, but I slept late--till 7am!! And I did not leave until 8am!
10.5 hours later I still felt pretty good, but I wanted to actually go to NYC. I got to NYC at 720 pm and still had time for a 5-mile ride to get me to 150 miles before I got something to eat.
