June 15 a Friday.
An easy 50 plus miles. Never thought I would ever say that. Cool day, no wind, flat, excellent roads, good places to stop such as my red clam chowder lunch.
Road and path shaded for much of the morning.
3 muskrats and a bunny until I got to the farm QB found for me.
The canal, after Brockport, is often lined with loveley houses and, visible to me, their backyards. A large number were front facing.
Had company riding into Palmyra. Local rider too me up the hill to the farm. He was doing a 60 mile training ride.
The farm. Single mother, 58, taking care of teenage son and her mother.
