We must be cycling through the state of "ports". Yesterday we cycled though Lockport and Middleport and today started in Brockport, Spencerport and Fairport plus more "ports" to come. I guess I need to do some Canal history research, but my first guess is these "port" towns were established to support the building of the canal and stayed to support the operation of the canal. If we come across a canal museum, I'll see if my first hunch is correct.
Regarding the biking conditions, today was a bit warmer, starting in the low 50s and warming to the upper 50's. A great riding temperature, even if you do need a jacket.
There are six of us on the ride and we're using Chuck's SUV to carry our bags, picnic supplies and people when necessary. For example, we used the car to shuttle us to our motel in Brockport when our reservations in Albion fell through last night. So that means that one of the six riders need to move the SUV as the ride progresses. This morning Douglas drove the SUV to the picnic stop and I drove the car to this evening's hotel in Palmyra.
Tomorrow we head out to Syracuse, about 71 miles. We'll see if we can get in earlier than than the first day out of Buffalo.
