first long(ish) bike trip

Well I did my first long(er than a weekend) bike trip – five days but only a little over a thousand miles. I ended up spending more time visiting family and friends than I did riding. I went out to central PA then up to central NY before coming back home to NJ. Only about 600 of those miles were actually getting me from place to place though and the rest was recreational riding in some very beautiful areas. South Jersey is just so flat, I’m easily impressed by anything resembling a hill. Give me an honest to God mountain and I’m ecstatic. I still love the Jersey farm roads, but there aren’t as many of them as there used to be, and riding past brand new cookie cutter mansions where there used to be peach orchards just pisses me off. Any way, on to the pictures!
