Day 2 philly

I'm tired! Carrying 40 pounds of grear on a 35 pound bike is a lot harder than cruising around on a road bike. We faced a strong headwind at times and the bags hanging off the bike felt like two umbrellas opened up behind me. We are still upbeat, but i am starting to realize how physically strenuous the trip will be. My left Achilles started to ache by the end of the day.

We followed country(ish) roads from east brunswick, nj to philly, even passing a few farms along the way. It was a nice break from the sketchy roads we took out of NYC. In all we did about 55 miles.


Once we crossed the tacony bridge and made iinto PA we cruised along local roads and got a brake from the headwind as we entered the city.

We stayed with a friend of ryan's in port Richmond, who mixed it up in us and instead of taking us out for cheese steaks brought us to this insanse brazIlian bbq spot. We OD'd on all you can eat and then crashes for a good 8 hours -- could have slept for 12
