A short wet 17 miles today for a total of 560 miles for the trip. We started the morning riding in sunshine and after about 2 miles the sky got black and we had a heavy downpour. Unfortunately, we were in a place without shelter so we got very wet before we could put on the rain gear. Part of the final day took us into the city of Rochester. We rode through a beautiful leafy residential area with stately mansions right near the downtown. We then crossed the Genessee River which runs right through Rochester. We then followed a bike path along the river for a few miles before finishing the trip. At least it stopped raining by the time we finished riding. However, 2 miles from the end of the ride Hal got a rear tire flat. It was a slow leak so instead of fixing it he just pumped it up and we finished the ride. We then drove to Alfred, N.Y. to pick up Hal's new recumbent from the Bicycle Man bike shop. And, then we are heading back home via car.
