Yesterday we rode over 400 miles to Harrisburg where, effectively our trip begins. We thought it was going to rain hard – but it didn’t though it was quite cool. The bikes performed OK though they produce tremendous turbulence on your helmet (buffering) over 50 mph. Ultimately, as we travelled on an interstate, we just got on with it and after a couple of stops arrived in Harrisburg at about 6ish. We then went online and found all the hotels offered sizable discounts at that time in the evening. Sorted. Dinner was at a sports themed pub (the only place within walking distance of the hotel). As usual the meal was gigantic and the produce great quality – plus the waitress couldn’t have been more helpful. Makes you long for England – Not!
Today we are touring the national civil war museum and later we ride to Gettysburg – which is only about 80 miles away. While there we are trying to arrange for my bike to have its first service. Which we both think is a bit cheeky – that is hiring out a bike that’s not OK just be ridden for a few thousand miles. But heh ho……
PS met Abe in the museum.
