Day 6 Suffern, NY to Somerset, NJ 64 miles

Today we rode through the New Jersey suburbs. Lots and lots of stop and go. Northern New Jersey is one big suburb. It's kind of like riding 64 miles down Union Ave in Salem. Lots of well-kept houses and green lawns. Many stops and many turns. The longest segment without a stop or turn was 3.5 miles. In Kansas you can ride 35 miles without a stop or turn.

We only got a little bit lost one time. Somehow we missed a turn and rode about 2 miles off route. A nice lady out walking her dog got us straightened out. Stuart, the retired doc from Florida, always gets lost and in true fashion he did today too.

Everyone seems to be holding up pretty well. We've had two minor crashes. Mike, from Connecticut, went down the first day in the rain. He may have cracked a rib and is riding with a taped up chest. Stuart hit a bad patch of pavement and got a few scrapes and bruises.

Not a lot of picture opportunities today. The one in this post is the only one I took today.

Tomorrow were off to Hammonton, NJ. I'm told they grow a lot of blueberries there.

(I tried to put in picture but for some reason it's not letting me.)
