Day 42 - Erie PA to Hamburg, NY - 78 miles









Just the stats: 80 miles, 15.2 MPH average. Cumulative 2,945 miles. No flats today, eight in total. Sunny with blue sky's all day, 51 to 68 degrees. Rolling terrain.






The ride to Hamburg, NY wasn't as easy as I expected. We had strong and consistent 10 to 20 mph headwinds all day. I got another late start so I had no one to ride with all day. Headwinds and no help from a pace line made it a long boring day. The ride was nice, it was along Lake Erie, which was about 1/4 mile away, we followed the coastline pretty much the entire day. There were many good views of it's white-caps.





At mile 19 of today's ride, we entered New York state. We did also have good smooth roads with shoulders all day today.



We passed a historic lighthouse and miles of vineyards on the right and beach houses on the left for large portions of the day.

Can you smell the barn? A few more states, and you'll be in MA! I'm praying for tailwinds and sunny skies for you.
