2 flats, 2 new tires, rain and I still had a great day

Day 45 was a 94 mile ride from Henrietta to Liverpool, NY. First about yesterday. When we arrived at Henrietta we were lodged at a Days Inn. To call it a dump would be to give it too much credit. Our room had mold growing on the bathroom walls and all over the shower enclosure. We along with a bunch of other riders requested and were given new rooms. Not much better but no mold. Then the tv in the room wouldn't work. When I woke up this morning I had a flat rear tire and needed a new tire. After getting that fixed we started biking and spent most of the morning on a bike path alongside the Erie Canal. The weather was light showers off and on. As the day wore on the rain got heavier. About 5 miles from the end of the ride I got a puncture flat that destroyed the tire. Second new tire of the day and the rain pouring down. I was the last one into the hotel and in spite of everything I had a great day on the bike. The days are quickly dwindling down as we make our way to NH. Thanks to Lucy for hanging with me today.
