Newark, NY To Jordan, NY

August 15, 2010
40 miles

Last night at our nightly meeting the weather report was for rain in the morning. As such, we all decided to get up early to try and beat the storm. We had breakfast at 6:00 a.m. and loaded the truck at 6:30 a.m. By the time we got on our bikes it started to rain a little.

We rode on Hwy 31/Bike trail 5 all the way to Jordan. I really liked this road because the shoulder was huge (about 10 feet wide and smooth!). So far, riding in New York has been very good.

Along the route today we went through a number of very small farming towns along Hwy 31, These included Lyons, Clyde, Savannah, and Weedsport. Because of the short day we got into Jordan by 10:30 a.m. and had lunch outside the church parking lot. About noon it started raining again. I was glad we weren't riding far today because of the afternoon rain.

We all hung out in the lobby reading, blogging and listening to music. A couple from the church came and made us dinner.
