We had our latest start this morning - 11 am! The late start was due to the great hospitality of our Oswego hosts who provided a sumptuous breakfast. Unfortunately, we started our ride in full rain gear because it was raining heavily as we left Oswego. We rode for several hours in heavy rain and chilly temperatures. Not the most pleasant riding conditions. We passed through only a few small towns with a dearth of services. Eventually we did pass a gas station/convenience store where we stood next to the gas pumps which had a roof over them in order to get some respite from the relentless rain. Finally, around 3 pm the rain let up and we decided to ride further than we had originally planned to ride. But for the late start we probably would have ridden all the way to our starting point in Rochester. After 58 miles we opted to stop at a motel in Webster, N.Y. around 5:30 pm. That leaves us only a short 16 mile ride tomorrow morning. Below is a picture of us with one of our Oswego hosts just before we ventured out into the rain.
