Taking a "Bath"
Wow, we must have been tired..we slept in until 7:40! But we get around, have our cont'l breakie & head out. Don needs some gear work, so we go by the local shop and the kid comes out to see what we want (they don't open 'till 10).Yea! he fixes the gears and off we go. Well, we miss the turn onto 415 & go 18 miles out of our way, so by the time we get back, it's too late to do our planned ride, so we adapt & head to Dundee, where we have a great sub sandwich for lunch & on northward for Penn Yan. A quick stop for a "gator" and then around the east side of Kueka Lake. A very nice, smooth road to Hammondsport and a stop at a beach where we cool our feet in the waters of the western-most Finger Lake. Now a small climb over to our motel in Bath and a 90 mile day with 2600' of climb. Hit the showers & then drive over to Watkins Glen to see the sights we missed. It was a massive downhill..6 miles..into the valley and I get a story from Don when he & friends hitch-hiked up here to attend a rock concert in the early 70's where they sold 100,000 tickets & 500,000 showed up. Back over the mountain to eat supper at San Carlos Mexican Resturant. PDG! Back to the motel by 8:30 & buy some gatorade for tomorow. A good Day!
