Western New York

Kirkwood comes by to pick me up for our bike trip to NY at 8:00am. A good breakie at Pamela's in Mt Lebo and on the road to NY. A few wrong turns, detours, gas, money, yadda, yadda & we get to our motel..a Red Roof in Falconer, NY by 1:00 but a torrential downpour greets us. Then as we unload the bikes, mine won't unlock from the roof rack, so off to a bike shop where they have to drill the lock, but at least we're able to ride. Finally at 3:30 we head out on our planned 50 mile ride around lake Chautauqua. A very nice route, with great views of the Lake, resorts & great homes. We make it back before dark, with 50 miles and 1700 feet of climb. Quite a bit of traffic to start the ride but the lake will always have this much I suppose. Shower and off to supper at a Mexican restaurant that is a sponsor of the local Cycling team! (El Matador).
