We had a big day today. We rode 70 miles mostly along the Delaware river. With all the rain that has been falling, the Delaware is just raging. The river is now 8 feet above flood stage. We ran into four detours today that we had to navigate around, which causes a little extra time to figure things out.
Putting all the rain and detours aside, it was beautiful along the river. We had rain for all the morning, but it did let up and the afternoon was cloudy, but mostly dry. We went through some great little communities that had some old architecture and character. The rain was so heavy in the morning that we were traveling through streams flowing across the road. There were waterfalls coming off the sides of the hills.
We are on New Hope, PA and will be riding into Conshohocken, PA today. This town is just outside Philadelphia. We have a day off from riding tomorrow (I am writing this Thursday morning). It is a difficult process to keep things dry. The motel room is just strung with pannier covers and riding cloths etc trying to dry it all out. It looks as though we may have some heavy rain at times again today.
