Day 69 Geneva State Park, OH to Ripley, NY 74 miles

Three States in one Day! Yeah that’s right we finished our tour through Ohio, made a quick straddle through Pennsylvania and have finished our day in New York. We had great biking weather, clear skies and temperatures in the high 80’s. We continued our day on Lake Road that kept us close to Lake Erie with wide shoulders and nicely, newly paved roads that brought us over the Ohio border into Conneaut, Pennsylvania. We then followed highway 5 on and off for the rest of the day and took a nice bike trail through the town of Erie before crossing the state line into New York, our 12th state. As the rolling hills of Pennsylvania brought us up toward New York, we started to see our first of many vineyards and a ridge line to the south. We settled into camp and took a quick swim in the Lake. The wind was blowing hard from the west and the lake looked just like the Atlantic. Rolling waves held my mind in distant memory of the salty sea, and for a brief moment I was back at home.
