Last night in PA!

We sacrificed one of our rest days to split one of our long days in two. We rode 30 miles today and will ride 65 miles tomorrow instead of one 95 mile day. We are still riding up and down the hilly terrain of PA. Many of the groups stopped at Schenly Park in Pittsburgh since it was so beautiful and was perfect weather outside. Most of us arrived at the St. John Lutheran Church before noon. Pastor Bruce met all of us and graciously offered to buy us some groceries. He made great accommodations for our vegan team mate and even bought her some vegan ice cream. Most of the day was spent by walking around the very nice downtown of Carnegie and making excessive trips to Dairy Queen. Tomorrow we ride for Ohio with the sunrise!
