Day 17

70 miles.  Double L grocery to Utica.  It rained most of last night.   More rolling hills today.  It got really humid today.  I got to draft behind an Amish horse and buggy today.  That was a first.  I passed some elk today also.  I am staying at the Utica fire house tonight.  A.C., mattresses, kitchen, shower, laundry, t.v. all for free.  Nothing like living off the land.  I passed 1000 miles for the trip today.

  1. Isn't that considered cheating when you draft off another vehicle?? LOL. Scenery is beautiful and the accommodations are excellent. Heard those firemen are good cooks. Did you get to taste their wares?? Congrats on the 1000 mile mark!!

  2. Congrats on the first 1000 miles, hope the rest go as well and may the wind stay at your back.

    Not to change your pace any ... just saw where this years winner of the RAMM / Race Across America won it in 8 days. 8 hours. Sure he did not stop along the way to enjoy the sites or enjoy a good Honey Bun.

    How's the pedal holding up?
