Stats:
4400 ft climbed
73 miles
Today was a really long and tough ride from Stroudsbourg to Schulykill (I think we have all decided it is pronounced skookull?) Haven. The ride ended with an absurdly intense and very unexpected hill. As we all wobbled our way up there (at less than 3 mph due to steepness) we had many falls and even a slight crash. When climbing hills that steep, it is really tough to get back on your bike once you have gotten off (ahem, fallen). Of the crew I was with, no one was able to successfully get back on their bike with enough momentum to sustain stable pedaling. We pretty much just walked up it. It was safer that way...hah.
We were a bit late for dinner but it was so wonderful when we were able to get there. There was a huge pot luck assortment of dishes, complete with a local favorite, mac and cheese with stewed tomatoes? Not really my thing, but cool to be exposed to different "local" foods.
