Pine Creek Trail - Slate Run to Wellsboro Junction, PA
This was SusanneS' longest bike ride! 👏
This portion of the trail is even better than yesterday's. The segment between Blackwell and Ansonia is sometimes referred to as the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania. The West Rim has some trails with several vistas. That's was not on this trip's agenda.

Lunch and a short walk around downtown Ithaca, NY
Ithaca is a college town home to Cornell University and Ithaca College. Approximately 35,000 residents and 30,000 students live in this town. BTW, annual in-state tuition starts at $50k and $60k at Cornell and Ithaca College, respectively. I guess the rich people from NYC sent their kids here to study.…

Robert H Treman SP - Lucifer Falls and Buttermilk SP, NY
The 2 state parks are only 2 miles apart, but we ended up driving from one to the other. So, these are 2 hikes in one activity.
There is a $10 admission fee per vehicle; it's valid for both SPs on the same day.

This park is well maintained with wooden bridges across the streams and rock stairs on the steepest inclines. Surprisingly, PA…

Western MoCo 8
Rural roads in Western Montgomery County. Lots of rolling hills and a few punchy climbs. Almost no traffic,
Unseasonably cool weather with temps around 25⁰C and little humidity. It still felt very warm, but no comparison to the usual mid 30s and high humidity.

Little Bennett Park (tribute to Gregor F.)
It was an absolutely pleasant evening ride. Trails are dirty in some places, but nothing really bad.
The park at this time of day is almost empty, so I was one-on-one with the forest, singing birds, and a raccoon I met in the middle of the trail. He decided not…
