We woke up at 7:00AM and got ready to ride. Marylou made us a wonderful breakfast which she served on the patio. It was a bright sunny morning just right for a great ride!
We continued to head east towards Connellsville and eventually Ohio Pyle. After a few miles, we past a interesting area called a Tufa Formation. It is 12,000 years old. How they know that is a mystery.
We stopped for a break at campground just short of Connellsville. Nothing too exciting happened except for a huge RV towing a SUV who was having problems getting it parked in the campground. Turner remembered my description of that configuration as a Biker's worst nightmare, "An 80 year old man in an RV towing a Jeep Cherokee". Because they cut you off when they pull over after passing you.
We passed though Connellsville and proceeded to start climbing to Ohio Pyle. Turner spotted a fenced in area that thought might be a prison but soon spotted the tanks of a fish hatchery.
Not too much happened after that, just steady climbing to Ohio Pyle. Eventually we came to the viaduct that crosses the Yough river into Ohio Pyle.
I realized that my rear tire was low once we got into town, no wonder the climbing was so hard!! We stopped so I could pump it up and a man came up to see what we were doing. He was pretty strange but seemed impressed by what we had accomplished so far.
We found our place to stay. It wasn't as nice as the Bright Morning B&B but it was pretty good. We went to dinner and realized that this town is dead during the week. I went to a ATM machine to get some money, then to the ice cream shop for our night cap.
We were both tired so we went to bed at 9:30!
