Day 44 Tuesday, August 2nd

Today's ride was 81 miles from Niagara Falls to Henrietta, NY. Yesterday was our day off and almost everyone played tourist for the day. My roommate Michel had his wife and daughter visiting so I had the room to myself for 2 nights. Yesterday I went on the Maid of the Mist boat ride into the falls and the Cave of the Winds walking tour beneath the American falls. It was a perfect day weatherwise and the crowds were way down from Sunday. Rainbows were everywhere and I think I got some really good pictures. A good day off and a chance to recharge for the final week of the ride. It was an unwelcome back to the northeast as two of our support vans were broken into in the parking lot and their GPS units were stolen. The night before we all went to see the light show on the falls and the fireworks display. Since we missed the fireworks on the fourth of July it was nice to see them. Today's ride had rolling hills and otherwise was pretty flat. We had a nice tailwind and I believe everyone was in the hotel by two o'clock. Not the nicest accommodations we have had and not too much around to see or do.
