The manager of the Towpath Motel in Rochester was an interesting guy. He is from India, and his accent so thick that we could only understand every third word. Eventually we understood that he was totally taken with the idea that two people as old as we are should be doing a trip like this. He requested biographical info, took multiple pictures of us and the bike, and assured us he was going to send this story to his hometown newspaper in India.

The terrain is becoming hillier as we head east in New York. Early today we had a 2.2 mile climb that started with about 150 yards over 7%. We made it, and both of us kept our breakfasts down. There were short ups and downs all day, and not many places to get food, so when we got to our B&B in Sodus Point, we were ready for a shower, and a meal and some liquids.
Tomorrow we ride to Oswego, and our climbing will begin as we approach the Adirondacks.

Looking good, you guys! It's a lot of fun reading about your exploits. Somehow I didn't expect so many pictures but it is great to see where you have been. Love the Indian newspaper story. I wonder if there is any way to ever find out if it gets printed?
Things are just rolling inexorably along and my last day of work is about a week and a half off! Hard to imagine I am that close. I'll watch the blog and try to time my trip to Florida this winter to be able to catch up with you someplace along the line!
I was at the Lake House on Monday and saw Nancy and Jim. They are following your adventures, too. We all miss you and hope to see when you swing back into the state for one of your periodic planned visits.
Take care and have more fun!
