Day 2 – Medina to Pittsford, with a side trip to High Falls
in Rochester (62.63 miles)
 |
| Early morning cycling out of Medina |
This morning we got up and said
goodbye to Russ and Gillian, though Russ will join us for part of today’s
ride. Gillian offered to drive us to Medina and then drop our car off in
Pittsford so that Harold, Gary, and I could ride together and not have to
shuttle the car this day. Thanks, Gillian.

| The Medina Culvert, the only road underneath the Erie Canal |
 |
| Most towns have unofficial SAG stops and otherwise support our ride. This is in Albion. |
Today’s ride was mostly along the
canal, through Albion, Brockport, Spencerport and on into the Rochester area.
We then took a side trip along the Genesee River bike path into Rochester to
High Falls. High Falls is where the Genesee River goes through a gorge and then
drops 96 feet before feeding into Lake Ontario. Then, we returned to the canal
path and cycled to Pittsford. Russ and Katie (another of Gary’s relatives)
joined us for part of today’s ride and we enjoyed their company along the way.

| This is the four way intersection of the Erie Canal and Genesee River |
Gary’s Aunt Jean picked us up in
Pittsford and we are staying at her house in Fairport for the evening. Many of
Gary’s relatives visited tonight and they made a fantastic Italian dinner
including lasagna, meatballs, sausage, Italian bread (real Italian bread),
cannolis, and Italian cookies. Mmmm good.

| We are eating lots of fresh fruit |

Thank you to Russ and Gillian, and
to Aunt Jean for letting us stay at both of your homes. You made me feel like
family, and I had a great time staying, talking, and having some great meals. I
appreciate it.
