Oh, what a beautiful morning, oh, what a beautiful day. Wonderful and easy ride up the southeast side of Lake Erie to Hamburg, NY just east of Buffalo. We had a police escort out of town. Two riders side by side and rolling right through red lights with the motorcycle cops racing out front blocking traffic and then stopping while the other one raced forward.


The ride had moderate rollers all the way. I rode mostly by myself and really enjoyed it. Tried to make it as much of a recovery ride as possible. Passed numerous vinyards on the right side of the road and across the road were small farms and numerous houses right on lake Erie. There was an occasional inlet and marina and one old light house near the road.


Notice that I didn't mention the 17th, the rest day in Erie. It was the usual laundry, blog, email, rest, buy toothpaste etc.

Big group of riders clustered around the New York
border Sign. Why?
Never saw that before
