Rode 87 miles from Erie, PA to Hamburg, NY. If I complain about the headwinds I have to give credit to tailwinds. I was riding NE all day and had winds out of the West all day. It was easy to do 20-22 mph on the flats even with tired legs.
Terrific day, great weather and roads. I was on HWY 5 all day. It's a great cycling road. Views of Lake Erie most of the day.
Tons of grapes. There has to be a Welchs plant not too far away. The aroma of ripe grapes lingered all day.
We stopped and ate lunch in Dunkirk. Great BBQ sandwich and fries......but way too large a portion. It's the most uncomfortable I've ever been when I started riding again.
Another flat early in the ride. The tire was down a good bit this morning when I pumped it up but I left the tube in and rode it anyway. It lasted about an hour. I didn't see anything in the tire so I'm betting it's a pinch flat.
I need to have a tube patching party when I get back home. I bet I've replaced 5-6 rear tubes and 1 front tube. I'm glad I've picked up some new ones along the way. And I normally don't have but maybe 1 flat every couple years......
Will get some pics up later.
