Once again we started the second day of the ride with a full tray, or two of donuts. You'll notice that we obviously do not fit the stereotype, as not many of the donuts were taken.
After breakfast and a few last minute fixes to Motors and bikes, we were ready to hit the road. The Dry road!
Our first break of the day came after about 22 miles of riding. It was at a former New Jersey Trooper barracks. I thought it would be a fitting place to take a picture of the spoke card I've had with me on the ride.
We rolled through some nice and some not so nice sections of New Jersey and took a break just before tackling the longest sustained climb of the trip. The Commodore Barry Bridge took us out of New Jersey, over the Delaware river and into Pennsylvania.
The roads in Pennsylvania were a bit of a challenge, having recently been scraped for paving. Our brief trip through Pennsylvania took us into Delaware, just north of Wilmington.
During the last part of today's ride, I got to speak with one of the original 18 who made the first Police Unity Tour ride from Florham Park to Washington DC in 1996. He made a comment about how hard core I must be to ride a fixed-wheel bike the whole way. This is his 11th Police Unity Tour. That's hard core.
Stats for the day:
Miles ridden - 90
Avg speed -11.8 mph
Hours in the saddle - 7.5
States visited - 3

We're glad you had a dry day today. The weather in Ohio was absolutely gorgeous today, so hopefully that's headed your way for Sunday. We miss being there. Please give everyone our best. Stay safe (and dry!).
Terri and Jenny
