Susie and Gail did a fine job of getting us out of the "maze" of
Greece and Rochester where bridges were our nemesis. After
travelling for afew miles on a beautiful wooded bike path we had to
ride on a freeway to get over the only bridge that would get us to
the Seaway Trail. However, we then learned that we had to go about
9 miles out of our way because another bridge is not open to
vehicles or bikes during the summer months. Finally "on the road
again" we enjoyed the overcast sky, perfect cycling weather.

We were unfortunately reminded of Iowa and those unending hills AND
had to deal with a headwind a good part of the day. We are getting
pretty good at drafting each other but miss Eric, our supreme
drafter. We had lunch in Sodus at Jug's Tavern where Jug and his
wife Betty were sure we would not like their menu and tried to send
us 10 more miles down the road. We persisted and had great burgers
and sandwiches surrounded by photo tributes to Elvis...Susie was in
her glory as she is a big fan.

Another unmentionable on this trip is who has NOT had a flat. Well,
today the last holdout, Ken, joined the Flat Club, but only after
hitting the 3002 mile mark on his odometer...pretty darned good, I'd
say.

My odometer registered 82 miles but Martin's registered 88, mostly
because as we took our afternoon break at McDonald's (I think that's
the first time we've stopped at one) he did laps around the
building. I was inside and every few minutes I would see him go by
and thought that he had really lost it but later learned that he was
stopping on the other side of the building to adjust his
derailleur. We travelled from Greece to Oswego, NY, and did a LOT
of elevation.
