Today we went from Liekens, PA to Sellinsgrove, PA and rode around 60 miles. It was hilly in the beginning of the ride and then became nice and flat...almost too flat. We rode on a highway with huge trucks for 30 miles...all flat. The thing about flat roads is they're always nicer than huge mountains, but eventually everything starts to go numb. Your butt, your hands, your feet, your toes. My toes hurt because they were so numb. We stopped in the middle of that 30 miles stretch for lunch and then continued. Luckily Liz got a flat at a very convenient spot by the river we were circling the entire day. It was a rest stop for tourists who wanted to look at the view of little what little rapids the river was offering. Casey decided it was time for a dip after a long days worth of boring flat road so he jumped in the river and took a ride down some small rapids. A few of my group member including myself followed. It was scary but fun because of the sharp rocks and semi strong current. The second time I went down I unfortunately banged my back on a rock and now have a small bruise...yolo. We stayed at a local university that night who kindly let us use their POOL!!!! AND DO LAUNDRY! AND HAVE OUR OWN BEDS TO SLEEP IN!! Not the floor! This is huge people!!! Since it was a short ride we got their early and were able to relax. The food was amazing, as all food is after a long biked day. It rained as soon as we got to our host. I have never been more thankful for my own bed in my own room. Good day.
