Lake Ontario

Well, we slept in 'till 7:30 and went to breakie downstairs..waffles, bagels, coffee. Off we go toward Lake Ontario. A nice cool, sunny morning, with a downhill into Lockport and a bigger one into the valley to about 300' elevation. Ridge road was very nice..just a rolling road through many little 'burgs & over to Fort Niagara Lake Park. The old fort has been rebuilt & it is a lovely park, including a lighthouse & re-enactors located throughout the park. "Could you please move your bike?"..well, no. Back on the road to ride along the lake for many miles (45). A stop for lunch at the Parkside Cafe in Olcott Beach. It was recommended by a couple of locals, but they said "watch out for the owner!" Anyway, it pretty good, and the chilli was great! Back along the lake and a lighthouse or two , and we finally turn south heading back to Lockport. It was a very long day, but not much climb...110 miles & 1700'. over 7 1/2 hours in the saddle, but a great day and fabulous views of the countryside. Even saw the skyline of Toronto across the massive lake...and what else? a camel. Tomorrow? some tough climbs around Seneca Lake. Now we have to load up and drive to Bath, NY for our lovely Super 8 & two nights in one place! We get there about 9:00, check in and go to eat at the Pizza Hut. What a day!
