70 miles
Ken went over directions in the morning today since some of us were out late to see the lights of the falls.
The instructions appeared to be a little complicated at the beginning because of customs and some routing. We decided to follow Ken so we wouldn't get lost.

Customs entering the US didn't take too long and we followed Ken about 20 miles on Upper Mountain Road until it met Hwy 31. There was a coffee shop so everyone decided to check it out even though we had a lunch stop 10 miles later in Middeport.

After lunch, Gail, Lesa, John, Tom and I headed east toward Brockport. We stopped at a Walmart in Holley and Lesa decided to get a pillow. I ended up getting a cheap MP3 player.
During the last stretch Gail and I rode together. We jumped on the Erie Canal trail from Holley to Brockport and got to the church by 3:00 p.m.
We then walked down to the Canal and there were showers for bicyclists and boaters passing through.
Many members of the local church showed up for dinner and provided us with some great food.
