Roscoe to Binghamton:
Today started with an amazing breakfast of pancakes and eggs at the Bait and Tackle restaurant in Roscoe, NY. The ROscoe community was extremely hospitable and we were all well rested after sleeping in beds and airconditioned rooms. We rode along the river for a while, and the ride was pleasantly not too hilly or challenging. The day became increasingly exciting when we had a police escort for a few miles down the interstate. A faster group ended up going straight over a Catskill by accident and had biked about 60 miles before lunch, but most of us stopped for lunch after about 40 miles. At lunch Frannie received an interesting donation to B&B- hair scrunchies. Sweep spend a fair amount of time on the side of the road with Emily and her record of six flats, but it was fun to take it slow. After lunch the ride was relatively smooth except for one steep hill which most of us conquered despite how daunting it looked. The end of the ride was along a big road into BInghamton- after passing many churches we finally found the one we were staying in and we were welcomed warmly by Amy and the members of the First Congressional Church. We got in around 6pm, showered at the Binghamton YMCA, and enjoyed fried chicken for dinner. Most of us were extremely excited and grateful that the following day would be a build day, because our legs were starting to wear down after six consecutive days of biking. All in all, it was another good day with a mix of highs and lows.
