So today was one heck of a day. Bit easier than yesterday with fewer and less steep hills so it looks like we made it out of the Appalachians alive! We made good progress today making 46 miles by 10:30 after leaving the lovely Carol and Jon at Kingswood at about 6:30. We encountered two thunder storms today second of which we had to stop and take shelter due to the increasing size of the hailstones and the closeness of the lightning! Check the video out. Met a great guy called Kim organiser of saints2sinners.com who rode us into Ithaca for the last 7 miles or so and took us to the bikeshop for me to get my wheel fixed. Personally very relieved after cycling for 110 miles without one and an increasingly noisy wheel as Jon will testify. Treated ourselves to a motel in ithaca and we will press on tomorrow to lima!
