So many things today!  Every day is a new adventure.  First of all, the weather held for a second straight day.  This part of the country is really beautiful when the weather is as gorgeous as it has been for the past two days.  We spent the better part of today on the Erie Canal Canalway bike trail, and we'll be on it for most of the next two days as well, it's quite long.  It's a lot of fun being on a dedicated bike path but there definitely are down sides, one of them being that it's quite complicated to follow the directions.  We got lost a couple of times; at one point we found Richard and Brian riding back towards us telling us we had missed an unmarked turn onto a bridge.  Eric's teammate Tony has showed up and I rode with the two of them.  Tony got several flat tires and when he took the tube off the second time I was there and saw that his rim tape was about a million years old.  So we used electrical tape but stopped by a bike shop to pick up rim tape.  I made the mistake of asking the guy to wrap my handlebars but he took it upon himself to do a full tune up of my bike that took about 40 minutes, meanwhile everybody was waiting for me.  I really don't like bike shops, and I especially don't like it when they're condescending.

Tonight we had Stefani Pratt's parents drop by and give us all food!  And the town gave us free showers at the museum.  Honestly it continues to amaze me how nice everybody us.  And Donna drove us back and forth to the showers so I got to hang out with Kitty again.  Then we played Euchre and I got some work done.  I love this trip and I love these people!
