A little flat

It was  a good cycle through Lancaster county where the Pennsylvania dutch, or Amish people have their farms. Everything is done the old fashioned way, including their cooking with natural ingredients that they grow themselves. Incredible food, i was a little slow to leave the place. But they make including furniture, they are almost as good at selling themselves to the rest of the country in tours, food, as the irish are to the rest of the world.
Unfortunately after leaving, i had more flats on my last 80 kilometers into Philadelphia than the rest of the trip combined. Three times the tire went flat. I'm not sure whether it is the bike does not like rain or it was the roads but i was looking forward to a quick half day into Philadelphia, but it turned out to be a seven hour trek. And i mean trek, well parts of it at least. I ended up walking for a few kilometers to find a bike shop to replace the last tube as i had thought two spares would be plenty.
I wouldn't mind for what people had been saying that it was going to be a deluge it only rained in the morning and then i had a clear run into Philadelphia. Eventually sorted, i finished the trip in Fairmount park, the largest city park in the US at the Chamounix hostel, just above the Schuylkill river where i spent so many freezing and fine mornings in college at 6am training.
