Camped last night for free with the Cycle the Erie Canal tour and snuck into their shower truck (with permission).
Riding with all these people is strange. They had a rest stop in Holley; we went on to Brockport for lunch. Looks like rain again soon. I am concerned the trail will get muddy.
I am just realizing how much of our time and energy we devote to finding and cooking our food. Finding a store, reading all the bread and yogurt labels, planning the next couple of meals, packing the food on the bike, talking to people, and getting back on the road can take a couple of hours. It's nice to have a break.
The grocery store in Brockport had Red, White, and Blue pickled hardboiled eggs. I got some of the red ones made with beets and jalapeños, but Jenny won’t eat them. We found a really good brand of full fat chocolate milk that Jenny has been chugging.
The bike is running really smooth, though we are having a hard time maintaining our usual standards of drivetrain cleanliness. The canalway trail is dusty enough to get the bike dirty, but not a breathing annoyance at all. I want to clean the chains and gears again before we go up into the Adirondacks.
