Woke up this morning to the sound of some anglers just before the alarm went off. We had left the tent fly only partially on to help with ventilation and during the night it had blown off so we had a nice view of our lock and the surrounding forest. While we were admiring the…

Somehow we managed to get up and out this morning before lunch. In fact we were at a breakfast place before 8:30… Let’s get an amen!! While we were at the restaurant we inquired into the reason for the boxing centric community. The waitress told us that there were a high number of local guys…
Out of bed at the ungodly hour of, ohhhhh… 8:15 this morning, then headed over to the continental breakfast. Rushed through that in about an hour. Hmmmm, what were we supposed to do today?? Oh that’s right that pesky bike thingy again. The bikes are absolutely filthy and have turned quite gray after all the…
The day dawned, cool & misty but we were nice and dry inside the covered picnic area. It was our fifteen minutes of fame, we slept on the stage in Macedon! The morning excitement included watching the same Carver boat go through the lock that we followed yesterday . Another beautiful trail ride through the…
We are certainly not going to get any awards for our morning motivation so far. We barely made it to our 7:30 breakfast reservations, then proceeded to chat with the owners for another hour.

Then unloading the rental car across the street on the bike path. Then dropping off the rental car and riding the twelve miles back…
So here we are back on the tour September 8, 2009. Cyndy came in from Sacramento via South West Airlines and arrived at 5:30 and Steve drove in from Narragansett (look it up) to meet her at the Buffalo, New York airport. Everything went according to plan and we were out of the airport before…
We’ll be back on the road to finish the last leg of the trip right after Labor Day. Day 47 was posted at the same time as this message so there may be some new stuff you haven’t seen!
During the night the wind had changed to easterly and the shore line was quiet except for a little sloshing. It was a Chamber of Commerce morning at the lakes’ edge. I really didn’t want to leave but the reality of ride distance and needing to move on kept me prepping to get underway. Another…
Another mighty fun day today. Cleaned up the campsite and hit the road in a pretty timely fashion. The bike path ended just a short distance after rejoining it, as expected. A couple of turns to route twenty to get me on the course for the day. The town of Ashtabula, as I saw it,…
