Our ride through Pennsylvania brought us the hardest climbs we've encountered, and also some pretty amazing views from atop these monsters! We put in some long days, climbed thousands of feet and took some time to gaze off into the distance. We even crossed the AT a couple of times. It's cool to think of our cross country trip intersecting with the north-south hiking trail. Here's a picture of Larry and George marveling at the hardest hill I've ever biked! The sign they're looking at says 10% grade, and long! The downhill that followed was of course pretty sweet!
And of course while in PA we had to make a stop at Hershey park. We had a short day, and therefore some free time to do some exploring/get free chocolate samples. Below George, Sonya and Ryan are enjoying a portion of 5 lbs of twizzlers. They tasted so good after riding to the park. Even better than our free chocolate bar was our little adventure in Hershey Park. We thought, hey why not try and get a free ride on a roller coaster. And we had great luck, and a sympathetic park employee help us out. It was quite a scene as the 5 of us, spandex clad, dashed though the park and into front row seats they reserved for us on their most intense roller coaster. What a day!
