Day 7 Lake Side SP to Hamiliton Ont.

DONE!!!!!
It was 125 mile today and 12 hours in the saddle. It was slow going with 10 to 20 mph headwinds all day long. I'm really glad I was on my recumbent. I don't think I could of stayed on an upright bike for 12 hours!

Today was Niagra Falls day. Got up an personal to the American Falls. The USA side seems to have been doing alt a lot of improvements and it was very nice.

Lake Ontario

Day 6 Sodus Point to Lake Side State Park

Today was a joyous day on the bike. 90 miles - the longest of the trip to date. I got rolling by 7:30am after saying my goodbyes to Johnny Mac and his tales of marriage, divorce, heart surgery, the trucking industry, hotrods, police work, etc,etc, etc.
Whew the guys was a nonstop record.

The day was cooler all day and made riding more enjoyable. By passed Rochester and a monster decent/ascent at Irondequoit Bay. After Rochester the roads were pretty much flat with nice views of the lake. I got to Hamlin State Park around 2:00pm and decided it was too early to quit riding for the day - even thou I had in 70 miles. Ate lunch at Hamlin and took my 1st swim in Lake Ontario - oh felt so good!! Tan line looks a little funny. 😎

I rode on another 20 miles to Lake Side Park and got a beautiful site on the Lake. Had fresh corn and blueberries with beer tonight! Fat and happy.

I'm think of sprinting to the finish tomorrow - over 100 miles but would save a day. I'm planning on it anyway and not washing any bike clothes for an extra day of riding.
