Day 12

50 miles to Oswego, N.Y. Much nicer day for riding compared to yesterday. Still cold - in the 50s - but clear sky and sunny. We had a nice tailwind in the morning but a headwind in the afternoon. The terrain became a little hilly today compared to the previous week. No big hills but a lot of small rolling hills that can get tiresome especially with a headwind. Most of the riding today took us past farmland and the occasional very small town. We stopped for a short time at a small Amish food stand by the side of the road. A teenage boy was selling baked goods from his buggy. Oswego is a town of about 18,000 people but it seemed bigger than that. There is a SUNY campus in town and several nuclear power plants. We are staying tonight with a couple I met on a recent Adventure Cycling Association ride in Florida in March.
