Paul,
I'm picking choice C which is sitting home and licking my wounds. Just
got back yesterday from my ride home from the 1000 Islands. First day
went from Morristown to Cape Vincent, 63 miles of head wind and heat.
Tuesday was Cape Vincent to Elbridge, 108 miles more heat but less head
wind. Last was Elbridge to Addison yesterday 98 miles, cooler and
occasional rain plus a nice crash over by Hector Falls where the highway
department decided to go to lunch without finishing off a nice 3" ridge
running parallel to my direction of travel. Not much damage to the bike
or clothing but removed a good bit of skin from the high points on my
knee and elbow. I only felt a tailwind one time for 100 feet when I took
a wrong turn and had to backtrack. 269.9 miles total, one of the hardest
things I I've ever done, especially mentally where I didn't know the
area because it seemed longer, I'm tired! Maybe I'll see you next week.
Scott
