Tuesday, July 31, 2007, Niagara Falls, NY to Henrietta, NY, 82.2 miles, 6 1/2 hrs, 6 hrs on the bike, Ave. speed: 13.8 mph, Climb: 2650 ft.

This was a day that gets put in the brochure! What wonderful ride! Lovely temperatures, sunny, mostly flat with a few hills for variety and TAILWINDS!!!!!! I just cruised along and did not have to exhaust myself. There are more people and cars in NY, but we were still mostly on country roads, so overall traffic was light. I was moving so well I actually got in before 2:00 pm! (That is extremely rare for me....). I was in early enough to bring all of our luggage up to our room. Usually I'm in so late Cindy or Colleen have already brought my luggage up; it was nice to be able to return the favor today.

I almost didn't know what to do with the extra time, but I got cleaned up, did laundry and wrote out postcards and got caught up on my journal. Ahh, this is the life!! Alas, we only have 6 more days of riding left - less than 500 miles to go....

Tomorrow we head to Syracuse, NY - a longer day, but similar terrain...stay tuned....
