June 14 from buffalo 🐃, ny

 95 miles today.    2860 of climbing.  Great beautiful scenery,  good cycling conditions.   Mostly good winds.


Another state.

Here we go in the morning 



View out hotel 🪟 

One of the absolute prettiest views of the trip.   Sat on a bench under a shade tree and ate 1/2 a peanut butter bagel around 30  miles. 


Picture does not do justice.   So peaceful.

This was lighthouse next door to that spot. 

Around  62 stopped at McDonald's.   Cannot survive on twinkies, peanuts and grapes.    Leaving there I missed a turn and spent 20? minutes trying to figure it out.    Asked directions twice.    Last time from a pot store.   Sorry,  Marijuana dispensary.

First view of Buffalo 🐃 from the distance. 

Somebody got shots of me 


There were probably 1/2  dozen streams like this we crossed 
Great picture of Marie 

My new phone has up to a 30x zoom feature.   Got a groundhog Pic!






Always hard to believe when I look at that line

Rest day update

  Nice day.  Jill was here so slept in.   Best nights sleep in awhile.   Took her to Braun's.   Kind of like Culver's.   Everyone on tour seems to really like the place.   After walking out of "Fall Guy" movie before it was over, we chatted with a few riders then hit IHOP for a late supper.   Got a new rear wheel put on my bike.   It's one of those noisy ones that goes clickety click.   I hate those.  Mine was quiet.   The old hub was worn, and could not get parts 😞.   Off for another day in Kansas tomorrow!

  The last big riding day is in the books.   93 degrees when I rolled in this afternoon.     Much of the ride was super scenic.    T traffic, and road surfaces were an issue as we got further into civilization.    I rode 56 miles, and that's with 2360 of elevation gain.  I rode in the van for first 35 miles.   The profile for first part of the day along with the heat and efforts of the previous 5 days..... anyhow,  I'm sure it was the right decision.    We crossed through new Hampshire and our 15th state.    Massachusetts.   Tonight was the ending banquet.   Tomorrow is the last ride with this bunch. We were told 80% of this group made it the entire way, without getting in a van at all.   I have said all along that this was a strong, strong group for the most part. After tomorrow I will have traveled 3235 miles.    By my calculations,  most of the group ...
