Stage 3 - Palmyra to Syracuse

 The journeys continues. Today was 70+ miles. when I had laid out the route, I had expected that the route would be mostly on state highways, route 31 specifically. However as we made our way we found some very well marked trails. So we kept choosing the trails over the highway alternatives. At the 10 mile mark, we stopped in Newark for a quick coffee at the Grind-On Coffee company. They had an unusual selection of scones including double chocolate and french toast. I had the french toast scone. The lunch was going to be at the 40 mile mark, so the coffee and scones would need to hold us for the next 30 miles. 

Lunch was at a old set of obsolete locks that have been turned into a museum. The predicted rain started shortly after we got there, so the museum was a handy place to wait out the rain.

After that, it was more trail riding. A lot of the riding were on the shady trails that kept us more cool that if we were exposed on the highway.
