Day One

The Anchor House Ride week is here, and there was much rejoicing! We were bussed up on Saturday to Oswego NY through thunderstorms (a little ominous, especially after all the storms we've lived through this spring), and arrived in Oswego to nice weather and a good forecast for the beginning of the ride. Day One had us biking along lovely Lake Ontario, where the wind whipped up ocean-like waves, seagulls flew overhead, and the air smelled oddly like the ocean. We headed south from Sodus Bay, through Clyde NY, passing lovely rolling waves of cornfields, apple orchards aplenty, an Amish horse and buggy (and attendant deposits) and made our way to Geneva on the top of Lake Seneca. This part of New York is truly lovely. Spectacular cycling weather today, in the low 70's, a fair amount of wind in all directions, and just glorious cycling. 77 miles down, 423 to go. May the week go slowly!!!

  1. Good to see the first day didn't sap too much energy from you for this first blog entry. You multi-tasker you! Hope there were beers & food waiting at the end of that first 77 miles! Keep pedaling. The Sleepers
