Niagara Falls is incredibly beautiful. We are staying a 10 minute walk away from the falls so have been hanging out there for much of our rest day. We're headed to another family picnic this afternoon, thrown this time by the family of our fellow rider Kit.

Spied the best line ever in the history of Rock and Roll on a wall in the otherwise not too interesting downtown.

We ride tomorrow into Brockport, NY, where Jim will be waiting to fetch me from the group in order to drive to Camp Hill, PA for our bi-annual Kehew Family Reunion. Our get togethers have been happening since the late 1940s with a few gaps over the years. We really have a good time - am especially looking forward to seeing my Aunt Stace and Aunt Nan who are fabulous role models for living well into their 90's.




Lots more riding along Lake Erie, past many noteworthy sites. That's Buffalo off to the left in the Lake photo.

When we stepped out of the hotel this morning, the humidity hit us like a solid. It had happily rained in Logansport last night (corn and beans are looking droopy) and mercifully, the cloud cover kept up a steady presence for most of the day - thus, it was a glorious riding day, the best yet for me. My back issues seem to be resolving as do the deraileure problems, and I felt great for the entire 70 miles. Not much of a photo op day so am including a pic of our Sag stop. The Subaru, driven by one of our sag drivers who rotate driving every third day, stops every 20 miles so that we can refuel essentially. This includes water, food, sunscreen, hand sanitizer and on a good day, shade. The driver checks us off of her list as we carry on, then we see her at the next stop. The array of salty and sweet snacks, along with fresh fruit and V8 really hit the spot, and we are blessed with 3 very competend sag drivers.

Tomorrow - OHIO!
