DAY 5 PUTNAM, CT TO WINDSOR LOCKS, CT

50 Miles today   235 Total Miles
A change of plans
It is time for a couple of rest days. We have scheduled in rest days along the ride and we decided we needed to take a few now. The wind and hills (actually mountains) have been tough and we needed to take a few of our rest days. We also decided to change the route and go somewhere we really want to go - New York City. We will stay in NJ a couple days and take the ferry over to NYC.

So we rented a car that we can get our bikes into and will drive to NJ (100 miles) on Tuesday morning. We will stay there in NJ Tues and Wed and resume our ride Thurs along the Jersey shore, down to Philadelphia, through Baltimore and into Washington DC  where we will hook up with our original route.
We will be giving up riding through Amish country but we really want to take it easy for a few day and get to see NYC.

You deserve a break, and many more. Take it easy, just be sure you get south before the snow :-) Keep the pictures coming. All the best. Stay well.

Okay, I hurt just thinking about the number of miles you have put in thus far. I do like the new ride, but you'll be back on your bikes in no time after you fill it up just once. Safe Riding!!

I hope you both are enjoying your adventure. Keep those pics coming. Funny, Lori and I stayed at the Saint Johns Inn last fall when we where in Maine.
