June 2. Sodus Point to Pittsford, NY

I usually wake around 5:30am as the sun is coming up but today there wasn’t much sun early in the day.  When I discovered it was raining hard I turned over to sleep some more.  About an hour later I began to pack up within the tent planning to get on the road as soon as the rain slowed a bit.  Finally around 7:30 there was a break and I could pack up my tent.  Since it was so rainy I only ate an energy bar for breakfast but eventually passed a farm market with fresh baked goods.  I decided to stop there for breakfast number two.  This lady had baked some beautiful cinnamon rolls which were hard to pass up but she also had some apple turnovers made with NY state apples and that was my choice.  Better than the pastry though was the coffee.  Yay Rah  she had coffee.  Sadly I am quite addicted.  She and her husband talked about the cold and how it is impacting their crops.  They were amazed that on June 2 they are still wearing their thermal shirts with flannel shirts over them.
I rode on for another ten miles or so but it was raining so hard that when I saw a deli I decided to go in for another cup of coffee and some juice. I waited for about 30 minutes there until the rain was not so extreme.  People here had promised that the rain was stopping around 10am and I was optimistically believing them.
Leaving that deli should have been none eventful but I needed to make a turn right there onto Lake Road.  Of course since I’m on the shores of Lake Ontario there are as many Lake roads as there are Peachtree streets in Atlanta.  Well the sign had Lake Road going both ways but my instructions said bear right so I did exactly that.  Anyway, when I begin to see signs for the town Ontario, I couldn’t recall that I should be going through that town.  Stop refer to map is the next step.  Well anyway, if you ever want to go to Ontario without crossing the border than there is a small village in NY that is quite affluent and right along Lake Ontario.  But it wasn’t on my route so I had to recalculate and backtrack several miles.  I was able to get back on track without going back to the original mistake with a little help from google and followed some really cool roads to do it.
Ultimately the day ended with picking up the Erie Canal bicycle path and following it until I reached Pittsford.  I decided against camping tonight because I have so much wet stuff.  Time to have a night to dry out and recharge some lights and tracking devices.  It was a cold and windy rain and I have trouble recovering from the chill.  The ride today would have been beautiful if it had been a little less

wet.
