DAY 43. HAMBURG, NY TO CANANDAIGUA, NY



I tried to keep up with my riding partner (Michelle) today.  My excuse is she's riding on fresh legs!

We covered 93 miles today.  The last 60 miles were grueling, accounting for a total elevation gain of 5,000 feet.

The highlight of the day came with about 20 miles left in the ride.  Herm and I noticed a sign for Ice Cream and immediately turned in, Michelle and Tim followed.

We asked a gentleman coming out of the place whether the Ice Cream was good....he proceeded to tell us it was the best within a 100 mile radius.  He was right.  All the ice cream was home made and delicious.  




Our treats carried us to the hotel with a quick stop to have a look at the finger lakes.


We arrived at the hotel around 3:30.  We'd departed at 6:45 this morning so it was another long day in the saddle.  Tomorrow is a 68 mile day, a welcome distance allowing us to sleep in an extra hour.

I can't believe we're in the final stretch.

Best,

Michael
