Day 18. Lancaster to Philadelphia. 77 miles

     Another great day for biking. It started out cool ( 50's ) which felt good. The first half of the ride was pretty hilly and the roads busy with both cars and trucks. Between the traffic and beautiful scenery, the time went quickly. It seemed to be a tape repeating over and over.
     After working up the mountain, I experienced a great downhill ride. After a few more rolling hills, I settled down into the river valley and traveled along the Schuylkill River Trail. It was a beautiful, paved trail leading into Philly. It was a busy trail and I met some nice and helpful people.
     That part of the ride ended at the Art Museum ( think of Rocky). It didn't take much longer to get to Trent and Allison's. Had a wonderful, home cooked meal and am enjoying a most comfortable bed and family.
