A 6am breakfast in the hotel of fruit, no cereal, oatmeal, eggs, pancakes and scones with orange juice, led to a 6-20amish departure under a clear blue sky with little wind.
The first few miles were all through downtown Syracuse with some very heavy traffic and bad roads. We turned most of the day and crossed under and over the interstate at least five times! This confused the little wind so we had some head / tail and cross wind, all of less than 10kmh-1 and barely noticeable.
Road conditions were generally good. After the no show sag at 52 miles, about a mile of road had been dug out to the shingle. Great cycling!
Scenery was a few crops, houses and many tree lined roads. There were one or two rolls before we descended into the valley where the town is located.
My HR was generally 100-130 for the 896.3 miles in 4hrs 38m with a maximum of 33.3mph and I arrived at the hotel just before 11am. It was again mild – about 85°F.
Dinner was a standard in house buffet with sponge cake, chocolate coated with custard centre, for dessert.
