Most of us were up early for a 7:00 am breakfast, the door to the breakfast room was locked to we clogged the lobby for about thirty minutes with bodies, bags and bikes. There were a few other tour groups in the hotel to see the falls, I am not sure they knew what was going on with all the bikers. I only got one pass through the buffet as there was still a line waiting when my plate emptied out, I guess I need to start cutting back anyway. The day after a rest day always seems to be hard, maybe we actually need to rest. We had eighty seven miles to do, I was with a group for about twenty miles, then tired and dropped off the back and rode alone. I started to get a blister on my little toe, so at the first SAG stop I performed a little surgery on my shoe to cut away the offending area and stop the irritation. It seemed to work well, but my toe now kind of sticks through the hole. We rode through a mixture of farms and state forrest land, nothing spectacular that made we want to stop and take pictures. The temperature warmed up as we rode and I drank a lot of water, on one leg of the ride I sucked the Camelbak dry before all the ice could melt. We are staying at the La Quinta Inn & Suites in Henrietta, a suburb of Rochester NY. Its laundry day for me, I was hoping this would be the last time I had to do it on the road, but the numbers just didn't work out for me to have a clean pair of bike shorts every day. I think we are eating at TGIFridays tonight, that is something new for the group to try.
