They say "Pennsylvania" would translate as "Penn's woodland", but that is not true. Sylvana was the wife of Penn, and he cursed her one million times when they were biking in this area, because it was all her idea. This story has a tragic ending, and who has ever cycled Pennsylvania, understands why. It involved some items which the timber industry could profit from, after people did finally stop talking about what Penn did to Sylvana. Seriously, it was a hard day again with 2000 m of steep climbs again; but on better roads and with good weather, it was nice to ride. A couple of downhills where I hit 100 km/h helped to keep motivation high.
Lunch stop at Puxsutawney, home of Puxsutawney Phil, the weather forecast icon. To my disappointment, the had no groundhog burger on the menu.
If a groundhog sees a velomobile today, then what?
We also came to Amish communities again.
Reports say an Amish recumbent rider was spotted! Hoping for pics.
We also left some customized ROAM street signs behind:
Please help me for Christ sake.
