Hello,
The ride to Lockport, NY was a nice flat ride of only 58 miles. Unfortunately, I ate way too many cookies at the lunch stop and had a really tough time finishing the last 30 miles. Let that be a lesson to all you aspiring athletes reading this!!! The town was nice and a lot of nice views of the Erie Canal.
Niagara Falls has been the highlight of our trip so far (even though I still really like the Paterson Falls). Niagara Falls is really a humbling site. It was the shortest ride to date and even felt like a rest day. We quickly showered and got ready to see the sights. The Maid of the Mist boat ride was the highlight of course (pictures coming) and walking up to the falls was breathtaking. I did not have my passport yet so I just relaxed at the host site until the fireworks later that day because it was July 4th!
We had the chance to rest of our legs for the most part as we had our 3rd build day. This build day was interesting. There was not a lot to do at the site so many of us took turns and rotated. Niagara is an interesting area because there is a lot of history there, but it is currently a depressed area. I am glad we could pitch in there and help.
Pictures to follow.... and we start a three day journey toward Ohio!
