Rest Day
Total mileage: 1147.0
Yeah, so I had a rest day after the ride was over. The goal for
today
was to get the bike shipped back home and make our 6pm flight for
home.
After a hearty breakfast, we walked over to the Seneca Niagara
Casino
for some gaming action. After an hour of roulette we walked off with
a
cool $60 profit. Then we used our winnings to pay for parking on
Goat
Island.
A nice day at the American Falls.
A rare shot of the Bridal Veil Falls without any people in it.
An ever more rare photo taken by someone else.
Next we drove across Grand Island and down to Amherst, where there
is a
bike shop...a bike shop that I had previously called to ask about
shipping my bike. They said sure. This time they said they only do
that
at the other store, which is not open on Sunday. Then the guy told
me
how much it would cost. I told him that information was useless to
me.
So I called another bike shop from my list 'o bike shops. This guy
said
he would do it, but he's in Niagara Falls. So, back across Grand
Island
to Niagara Falls, to the shop, drop the bike off, everything's fine.
Then it's back across Grand Island to downtown Buffalo to join in
progress the game between the triple-A Buffalo Bisons and the Durham
Bulls. I asked the ticket window person for "a pair of your finest
tickets." They cost $11 each.
The view from our seats.
Chip the mascot. I really don't think he likes his job.
I bought a hat, and a really huge freezy pop.
After the game we headed to the airport. Then we were home. Then I
was
sitting on my favorite couch, sipping my favorite scotch, typing
this.
