The local newspaper had the bikers here in Syracuse plus the rain as the headline on Thursday. [I will scan the article and insert it at a later date - ad] It is raining here AGAIN today. This is the wettest summer we have had in years combined with record heat. Good grief!
Early in the morning, Anna reports:
Christine just called. Because of the forecast for hot weather,
they started out early this morning and . . .
AFTER CONQUERING THE HILLS OF THE MOHAWK VALLEY . . .
. . . IT IS FLAT, FLAT, FLAT
. . . [they] are at Rotterdam, New York -
three quarters through today's trip.

Later in the afternoon, Anna writes:
They have arrived at Scotia, New York. Christine says she is going to take a shower. It is raining and they haven't heard what the plan is if there are thunder storms tonight.
Last-night celebration with songs
This one is sung to Jingle Bells
Buffalo to Albany
Biking all the way
Gatorade at two rest stops
And a luggage hunt each day.
(I guess you had to be there)
