Off to a slow start today. Lots of threatening clouds so we decided to delay our 8AM start until the weather clears a bit. After an hour of looking at the sky and looking the RADAR images and some of the showers to pass, we finally mounted the bikes and started out to breakfast in the town of Albion. We stopped at a coffee shop called "Village House Restaurant".
We were on the road by about 10AM when the skies had cleared and the sun was out. We hit the crushed gravel tow path on to Palmyra. We were concerned about the tow path conditions following the rain, but for the most part, the tow path seemed to had drained pretty quickly leaving a damp surface with occasional puddles that we needed to navigate around.
About 15 miles in, it was time for coffee. The ride is loaded with little quaint towns that make the ride very pleasant. After a 30 minute stop or so, we were back on our way. It was now getting warm and humid but as you rode, the air helped to cool you off. It would be when you stopped you could feel the sweat rolling down your body. To be expected for a summer ride.
