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.
