June 12: Erie, PA to Hamburg, NY 87.8 miles
The last long day and everyone was ready for it. The weather was clear and warm, but the breeze off the lake made it a little cooler than the temperature was reading. For a biker -- that was perfect only that the breeze was blowing in the wrong direction!! The group is headed north and the wind was headed south!! Not a good mix!
But the scenery was fabulous -- Lake Erie to the left , hills to the right with vineries in between. The hills are alive with grape vines.
The route took the group from a metropolis of Erie out into the countryside of those small vineyards and lake views. Very shortly into the day the line was crossed into our last state = New York.
The route followed the lake along Route 5 that eventually ends in Buffalo. Our stop is Hamburg tonight and then onto Niagara Falls and Canada tomorrow.
