Our goal today was to get around Buffalo and onto our NY Bicycle Route 5 (which so far is following Hwy 31.) Our plan to take a straight shot up on Sunday morning worked great. We went right by the stadium home of the NY Buffalo NFL. The traffic was very low volume.
We had a second breakfast in Lockport. We asked a policeman where to eat and he directed us to a unique diner. As usual several patrons were interested in learning about our trip. It is hard to be subtle in bicycle clothes.
Lockport was our first peak at the Erie Canal. There is a nonpaved bicycle trail along side the canal. Some riders we met said it was very dusty. We will stay on the road route.
We stopped before noon since we found a nice town with a great B&B within walking distance to downtown. Because it is Sunday nothing but 2 restaurants is open. We took the time to make a tentative schedule for the rest of the trip. We should be starting into Massachusett by the weekend.
By the way, a few days ago a woman commented on my accent!
Tomorrow we should get east of Rochester.

Good route-planning for today. That's funny about your "accent," Sharon! How was the french toast, Ron? I'm happy you found a good B&B. Are you sharing any details of your proposed schedule? And when is your next rest day--just checking (I can be snoopy too, can't I??)
We are enjoying following your grand adventure. Jennifer and Tim are hosting guests this week....Tim's parents are here from Hamburg, NY. It's amazing to believe that you have already pedaled cross country. Doug and Ardie
