The Beers

Alicia and I enjoy many outdoor activities. Alicia has long had a life goal of bicycling across America. It sounded like a great adventure to me. This was an opportune pause in our lives with a recent job loss (May 2009), so with just three weeks of planning and training - we were off.

This trek started May 24th, 2009 from Anacortes, Washington ending 65 days later in Portland, Maine (We had expected 60 days to Bar Harbor, Maine.).

3964 spinning miles!! Biggest day 115 miles. ~~Pete Beer

Day 57. Macedon

Oh what a day. We covered some good ground taking a shortcut around
Buffalo and cutting straight over to Rochester before jumping on the
Erie canal trail. After 107 miles we find ourselves in Macedon at a
hiker/biker/boater camp right on the canal at lock #30.

The odd thing is, we are not tired. Normally I am nearly catetonic
after a day like this, but we both feel great and we got it at a
decent time: 5:30ish.

Tomorrow we will go north to Lake Ontario and follow the the coast the
rest of the day eastward and northward.

I took a shortcut continuing on highway 20 to highway 33 which cut
diagonally across the state to Rochester saving about 47 miles.
