Time for another great multiweek ride. This time with people I have ridden with previously. I look forward to seeing the group again. We all know the other riders' quirks and riding styles, which makes the first few days easier. The plan is to start in Buffalo, go west into Ontario and along the north side of Lake Ontario (on the Waterfront Trail) through Toronto and finish east in Burlington VT.

    I have volunteered to be part of the support crew, and will ride every other day and drive the vehicle on the other days. I was sure I would have plenty of miles by this time, what with having biked cross country earlier this year.  I don't think I will miss out much. This gives Ken a chance to ride half the time.  I'm not sure how much other cycling I can do before or after driving.

  I leave Wednesday the third for Buffalo by plane.
