Day 3. Ohiopyle - Meyersdale

Is it really only day 3 ? It feels as if I have been doing this for a week. Comfortable Bike Saddle is an oxymoron. The only question is how much pain can you take?
I'm paying the price for pushing hard to get to Falling Water yesterday. Everything hurts today .... thighs, Achilles tendons, right hamstring, left knee, palms .... But I made it 45 miles from Ohiopyle to Meyersdale. Uphill.

Getting to Confluence wasn't too bad apart from a cold start with temperatures not far above freezing and not getting out of the 50s all day. But with my right hamstring hurting I really thought I would not be able to do the 20 miles to Rockwood and another 12 to our destination at the Levi Deal Mansion in Meyersdale.

Anyway, here I am in a nicely appointed bedroom, ice packs for my knee, a nice big tub for a hot soak, dressing gown, chocolates by the bed and a complimentary pair of earplugs. Oh no ... Not the trains again!
A real step up from the DIY B&Bs we have stayed in so far.

Jim will have to tell you about the ride and the views. I spent most of it with my head down willing the wheels to turn another revolution.

Tomorrow takes us over the Continental Divide and down, Yes! Yay! Downhill to Cumberland.
