Day 21: August 14, 2016 - Medina to Rochester, NY

The Court Street Dam in downtown Rochester, NY
It's amazing the difference 24 hours can make. Today's ride into Rochester, NY was within 5 miles of yesterday's distance, but the temperature was 7-10 degrees lower with cloud cover, and that made all the difference. We also used NY 31 instead of the Erie Canal towpath. It was nice to ride the towpath yesterday, but honestly, if you've seen one mile of the canal, you've seen them all...besides, the road is faster.

If you look closely there is a tree stuck in the dam flow. 
We arrive at the Towpath Motel before 1PM and were in our room within 15 minutes. The hotel manager was so taken with our story, he insisted on getting our picture and asked John to write down the basic facts for him. He is sending it to his family in India. Imagine two old people traveling by bicycle so far!
