Home to Chester

Today was a great 50 mile ride.  A few hills but in general the road favored us.  Too bad today was a 72 mile ride.  The last 22 were the toughest I believe I have ridden.  The trailer, panniers and assorted stuff weights in at about 90 lb.s and we felt every ounce. I even thought about trying to thumb down a ride.  Luckily Susan was the rock today and we pushed on.  We arrived at the camp ground around 5:30. After a shower and supper of roast beef and mashed potatoes I was feeling a lot better. It was canned roast beef and instant potatoes but they tasted great.  We both were pretty much drained and we fell a sleep as soon as it got dark.

Stats for the day:
72.6 miles
6.45 hrs/min.
37.4 max speed
10.75 avg mph
