Albion


Total for this ride: 52 miles
Total for this year: 1508.0 miles

Took a nice ride through sparsely populated farmlands west of Rochester with a colleague from work.  A fairly uneventful ride, fortunately.  We just had a general idea that we wanted to start at a county park in Churchville, have lunch in Albion, and then work our way back to the starting point.  But other than that, we didn't know exactly what route we would take.  In fact, neither of us even brought a map.  And the display on my GPS is so small that the map view is fairly useless.  So we were kind of winging it.  But everything worked out, and in spite of a little breeze from the west, we actually made pretty good time, finishing the ride in four hours, including the stop for lunch.

As it turns out, it was good for me that we went to Albion.  I'm taking a group of new students through there on a 3-day ride from RIT to Niagara Falls in three weeks, and the plan is to stop in Albion on both the outbound and return trips for lunch.  Jill and I had scouted out a couple of restaurants a few months ago, but I discovered today that one of them has apparently gone out of business.  Need to figure out a "Plan B" before then...
