A Burger decides to go to Princeton

Day 5 ends with fun at Princeton and 290 miles down the road.

It began with Bea Burger and Tom and Sheila.  Our stay with them included a dinner with entertainment by a smart blond haired girl.  We hit the town at night

We had breakfast in NYC and stops that included Central Park, Times Square, 1 World Trade, and the 9/11 memorial before a ferry rifled to New Jersey

Once there, we travelled for 12 miles along Henry Hudson bike trail which was enchanting with red birds, lilacs, squirrels, and hawks with 8 foot wingspan.

The toughest part of the day came with the rolling hills, 95 degrees temps and 20 mph headwinds.  We wilted.  Stopping for drinks, ice cream, and shade.

Around 4 pm the temperature drop and we found a rally.  We cruised onto the campus of Princeton University which for a brief period served as the Capital of the USA.

Tomorrow - Philadelphia

  1. Tom, Shelia & 'the Bea' are great hosts. They've provided me shelter a few times.

    Btw, it doesn't look like New York traffic is any easier on a bike.
