PHILLIPSBURG, NJ to MILFORD, PA 72.5 MILES, 9.7 MPH, 7:25 BT, 7:30 to 6:00 pm, MILFORD MOTEL $65 (pd extra $5 so we could have 2 beds) 40 when we started-maybe got to 55-cold all day. Best things-meeting Jackson & his family-really wanted to jump in their car & go to Boston. Then Shaun passes me-lost both legs on mt in storm in NY-was biking 75 m today. Went off & left us-hard to feel sorry for myself. Met Simon, Patricia, Jill, Jim-after coming off most dangerous rd I’ve ever been on. Felt better after talking to them-but knew I was finished & don’t want to go to Boston. Had walked up very steep hill-10% grade. Saw ROUGH RD AS I STARTED DOWN. ENTIRE RD FULL OF VERY DEEP POTHOLES. TRYING TO BREAK AS HARD AS I COULD. CAN’T SLOW BIKE DOWN-HELMET COVERS MY EYES. I REALLY THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE THROWN OFF BIKE. BY THE GRACE OF GOD SOMEHOW MADE IT DOWN. IA had trouble too-his breaks don’t work well. I’m shaking-takes time to start again. End up in Milford-can’t make it to NY. Motel is nice-rest. across street-still cold until I take hot bath. Thank you, GOD that we are both safe. Will be at Jane’s in 2 days.
