Auburn trail: May 1
Meteorologists correctly predicted that the first two days of May would bring beautiful weather to Rochester. I decided to do a couple of long rides. May 1st I rode to Canandaigua. The beginning and end of the route involve sharing the streets. On the Rochester end I rode a few kilometers on the canal path, but most of the route follows the Auburn trail.
Despite numerous road crossings, I love the Auburn trail: it's gravel, wooded, and less windy than the canal path. Speaking of road crossings and sharing, I was really pleasantly surprised that most drivers stopped for those of us on bicycles to let us cross.
I got a slightly later start than I hoped--I left around 11am. Despite a wrong turn or two, I made it to Canandaigua in about 2 hours. Stopped at the Bee Hive Brew Pub for some beer and one of the most delicious burgers I've ever had. Arrived back in Rochester a little before 6pm. It was a beautiful day. Legs and lungs felt good.
Today's ride: 85 km (53 miles)
Total: 85 km (53 miles)
