Day 66: Ripley, NY to Hamburg, NY 63 miles

We had a nice ride this morning. The area had lots of vineyards and green grass and trees. It actually looks alot like Oregon.

We are now about 10 miles from Buffalo, NY. We decided to try to avoid riding in that city so we will leave early tomorrow (Sunday) and make a straight shot up to our new route 5 to cross NY. The Adventure Cycling route goes through Buffalo to Niagra Falls. We saw Niagra Falls with our sons in 2001 on our USA RV trip so we know the chaos there and chose not to repeat on bikes.

The town we ended at was having a big downtown festival. That affected us by closed streets and crowds to walk our bikes through. Also the bike shop was closed and we wanted to get a spare tire. We did not think of it at the last shop.

We are due for a rest day but will wait for "the right spot".  Our destination tomorrow is Lockport, NY.
