Friday, 8/3
Only 55 miles today so planned on leaving later than usual at 7…..but couldn’t kick the early out habit so left about 6:30 as usual. Mostly cloudy and a few showers on and off but not bad. Only on the canal trail a few miles then on back roads and good highway shoulders. Rode through some urban areas, mostly in Utica. Tina had a slow leak in her back tire and we pumped it up and headed to a bike store. It wasn’t in the best neighborhood and when we got there it was padlocked so we moved on. We happened to run into Bob and he had a spare tire, exact size needed, and we put that and a new tube on and good to go. Lunch was a meatball sub at Big Willy’s pizza joint in Frankfort……yum!
We finished off the night with seeing the play The Wizard of Oz by the Mohawk Valley Center if the Arts.
