AAN day 46 - Rochester, NY --> Little Falls, NY

Across America North - day 46 - Rochester, NY --> Little Falls, NY

No post yesterday because the network was impossible.  The designers of the hotel network apparently had no idea that more than one person at a time would want to use it.  Some people went a few blocks to the McDonald's and used its network but I went to bed early.

The day started with warnings of rain and it came as promised. A few drops through the morning became a steady rain starting at about 10:30. By the time I arrived at the hotel at 2:00, I was very wet and gritty. A clean bike is a happy bike and mine was unhappy.

There were so many days when we could have spent the day in the rain but we've been dry since Oregon. Other trips in other years have had temperatures over 100 but we haven't. We've been very lucky with the weather.

I brought a scale on this trip. When that became known early on, the others expressed quite a bit of interest but hardly anyone acted on it. Now that the trip is winding down, there is more interest and there is more caution about eating habits when suddenly not riding 80 miles/day.
