Tuesday 20th July 1999 -> Hamburg NY

Rising at 6am, we had a bare minimal breakfast of fruit plus cereal plus pancakes if you waited at the hotel.

I left about 6-55am under an overcast sky with a medium head wind and mild temperature. We crossed the state line after just 19 miles. I was met by a man walking down the road with a chainsaw that was going! He had no apparent need for a chainsaw!

Sag was at 47 miles and was again late although the mechanic set up a temporary one. From there, we had an unscheduled detour around a bridge that had been removed!

The road was basically flat, of average quality and went basically along the lake front, though the lake was mostly out of sight, with a few vineyards and trees as the scenery.

I arrived about 12-30pm to find the rooms were not ready. After a short excursion to Dennys for lunch, I had cycled 86.7 miles in 5hrs 01m with a max of 28.4mph.

Dinner was an off the menu affair at Bob Evans a little bit down the road. Food quality and quantity were average.
