Day: August 16, 2010

I’ve been taking it easy hanging out with Marni and Barkley in Rochester. Since I got here Saturday afternoon, we’ve:

• Had delicious ice cream and even better chocolate milk from Pittman Dairy
• Eaten vegetarian BBQ
• Made an awesome breakfast with all local foods, including eggs from her neighbor’s chickens
• Swam in Lake Ontario
• Visited Rochester’s answer to Jungle Jim’s
• Eaten frozen custard at Don’s Original – “Where Quality Predominates”
• Watched the entire first season of Weeds
• Lost two pairs of socks – and found them again

Not bad. Marni definitely know how to show a good time. Alas, I can’t live on Shindleman Cruises forever, so I’ll be taking off this afternoon back on the road.

Today turned out to be a great day. There was a thunderstorm last night, and the temperature and humidity dropped to make it great riding weather, plus I has a bit of a tail wind. Most of the riding today was along little country roads through fruit orchards. Now I’m camping in a swampy bit of woods surrounded by mosquitos…but they can’t get in my awesome tent!
