day 5: waterloo to rochester 63 miles
the longest day and the hardest. started at 10 am in the rain for about 12 miles....we thought it might be our waterloo..a bit nervous making but the road mostly had a good paved bike lane slash shoulder...wayne county crashed down to a mere 18 inches..not pleasant ...then on what is nys bike 5 there, route 31, all the way ( 40 miles) to almost pittsford..so amazingly beautiful..sun dappled canal..gracious park like lawns on beautiful homes...children swimming in the canal and up the path up to rochester city center and on to the hyatt regency for luxe recovery...great dinner...oh, highlight of the day...went to a car wash to clean the bikes so we could take them into the lobby of the hotel...not many pix..was a hard ride and we didn't stop often ..sun and blue skies finally outside rochester...so.welcome... tomorrow on to lockport...have to admit we are both feeling somewhat sassy and surprised at our accomplishment...hit 303 miles total today
