Bishop Bike Adventure Day 52 August 21, 2010

We breakfasted at McDonald’s and ventured off to another ride up the shore of Lake Erie. We were joined by a man who was vacationing in the area. He invited us to his family reunion later in the day! As we kept progressing toward Buffalo on Lake Shore Drive, the houses and services came closer together. Lucrative homes and estates became more prevalent as well, many of which had “for sale” signs on them. Before leaving Lake Shore Drive, we had a long distance view of the Buffalo skyline. The photo below shows the faint outline under the overcast weather conditions.

We stopped at one point to check a rattle from Debbie’s bike, fearing that it was a loose rack. A lady on a four-wheeler came down from her house to see if she could help. We ended up having a conversation with her and her friend, who filled us in on the Buffalo area.

We stayed the night in Hamburg, New York, a suburb of Buffalo of about 10,000 people. The crew at “The NOW Pizzeria” were most intrigued by our adventure. It is interesting to see the reactions of people and let them enjoy our experience. We checked into the hotel just in time to beat the rain!
