Wow - it looks like I’m finally going to be caught up again with my blog! Today we rode from Erie (the NICEST place we’ve stayed) to Buffalo (possibly the WORST place we’ve stayed). Although it did not involve a “Garmin climb,” getting out of Erie did involve some climbing, as the hotel was definitely on low ground given the fact that it was right on the lake. Once we were done climbing away from the hotel though, today’s ride was fairly flat. 

Our first glimpse of Buffalo as we headed along the lake

Along the way we rode through an area belonging to the Seneca Nation. It’s not every day you pass a sign written in both English and a Native American language!

By the way, if the pictures seem a little random, it is because they are. Normally I would make a point of trying to keep everything in chronological order, but it’s getting late, I want to get caught up on the blog, and we have 79 miles to ride tomorrow. Of course, there is always the day’s video:

Tomorrow we continue on to Victor, NY. And just like that, I am once again caught up! See you tomorrow!
