DAY 29  CONSHOHOCKEN, PA to PHILLIPSBURG, NJ  72 MILES, 11.3 MPH, 6:20 BT, AMERICA’S BEST VALUE $70.  7:30 Went to bkft-packed-full w/wedding & graduations. Can’t believe got good rate. Only on trail 1 m-map takes us N of Philly through countless neighborhoods. IA is fantastic reading map-at least 50 different streets today-including detours, rds closed & under construction. In New Hope meet MIKE-Showed IA picture of face after being hit. New bike cost $9,000-serious biker but still took time to help us. Rd gets bad-see trail by river-want to get on trail. Map says rd-get on flat dirt trail-much better. After a few slow miles-look at bikers on rd-now has wonderful shoulder. Map is rt-take bikes back on rd. Go over grated bridge to NJ-walkers, bikers on paved side. Cop greets us-not suppose to bike on bridge-from TX-didn’t know. Get to Frenchtown at 50 m-go to bike store & hotel. How much? For basic room? Yes. $217-only hotel in town & cheapest in area. IA says next motel is 20 m away-it’s 3:00. Let’s go. On rd by rr tracks & river-problem is big storm is comimg around 6. Now rr tracks gone-hills are back. Starts to rain-stop under tunnel to put on rain gear. Too hot w/jacket climbing hills-wind. Stop man in truck-tells us where motel is. Racing 3 more m-get to motel just before downpour. Perkins rest. next door-1st meal of day-eat too much. IA sleeping-he is very good leader.
