New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio

Rain quit and we had a pleasant day riding the 20 in New York, but got to admit with construction and towns it was slow..... 3 hours to do 120 km. some of the little towns were amazing though like Skaneateles, NY. Old mansions with manicured gardens across the street from a postcard lake with sailboats and antiquated rows of shops. Antique hunters would die to travel this route. Lunch in Lima at the American Hotel built in 1850 with 60 kinds of homemade soup. Moved from cornfields to vineyards to mixed farms and cabbage patches. I had never really considered NY to be agricultural but it certainly is. Pennsylvania was only a short distance to cover, about 45 miles. We tried to experience it by staying off the interstate and the 20 and the 5 were our choices. Pieces were amazing with tree veiled lanes and curvy forest trails but much of the 20 was painful and slow through towns littered with uncoordinated stoplights and heavy traffic. Staying just inside Ohio tonight.
