Tough Climbs!

OK, up at 7am and pack up our stuff as we will not be back in time to check out at the roof. Into town and breakie at Phil & Cindy's, where they have great pancakes! (and huge!) we can't even finish our two. Back to the route and northerly we go into a pretty heavy fog and 65 degrees. Lots of climbing and 2500' by lunchtime in Panama and 55 miles so far. The food is great at the "Rowdy Rooster" and as we leave the sun is out, so re-apply the sunscreen. The ride was listed as 3400' of climb today but with 3 more massive hills into Jamestown, we go by the total real quick. As we get close to our motel, I suggest we stop at "Big Don's " ice cream stand for a treat, and it was! Load up the bikes, change clothes, and head out for Lock Port , NY. Some closed roads, downed bridges & detours caused us some problems, but we perservered and made it to our Comfort Inn by 7:30. A nice shower and off to supper at Cannoli's..great pasta!...(leave the gun, take the cannoli.) A really tough day with 83 miles and 4500' of climb...ouch! Did I say we saw a Zebra? along with a few lamas..pretty wierd. Free wifi here and a cont'l breakie tomorrow..see ya later.
