Day 47- Liverpool, NY

This morning, before we took off, I rode across the street from the hotel to enjoy the lovely lake..it was beautiful. Once we left the lake, it started raining, and continued to rain for the remainder of the day. We only had 69 miles to ride, so it wasn’t terrible, but there is nothing enjoyable about riding in the rain. We rode right through Seneca Falls today, which is famous for the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention, the first women’s rights convention held in the U.S. It was a very pretty area, but would have been more enjoyable if it weren’t raining. Because of the rain today, our group had 29 flats in total! Somehow I didn’t get one, but almost everyone did. When we reached Liverpool, which is a suburb of Syracuse, we cleaned our bikes like good cyclists, and got ourselves cleaned up for dinner. Robert bought wine for everyone to celebrate his 74th birthday- here we all are in the lobby of the hotel enjoying the wine—yes, out of styrofoam cups.
