Day #45, Henrietta NY to Liverpool NY

We devastated the Continental Breakfast again this morning, the trip breakfast rule is, show up for breakfast 15 minutes early, (to get the first batch of food) or 15 minutes late, (when the hotel staff has had time to recover and restock the line). We left Henrietta at 6:45 am and were on the Erie Canalway Trail five minutes later. We rode the trail for twenty three miles this morning, it passed thru several little towns along the canal. I can't imagine some of them have changed much in the last one hundred and fifty years. The trail was paved in some sections and in others it was covered in crushed limestone. Once off the Canalway Trail in Palmyra, we followed Route 31 for most of the day. Lots of farms and small towns along our route to Liverpool (near Syracuse). Today is retired school teacher Polly's last day of riding with us, she is attending a wedding in London this weekend and will finish the remaining miles of the trip on her own this October. I think she may convince some of our New England riders to join her for a day or two. We also have had a few segment riders join us for the last few days, it must be hard joining a big group that has been together so long and all us being in great riding shape. We are staying at the Quality Inn in Liverpool and had dinner tonight next door at Tully's the local sports bar.
