92 miles from Ashtabula to Dunkirk. Another great day for riding with partly
sunny skies and more light winds. We broke camp early in order to ride to
Conneaut for breakfast where we had some of the best pancakes of the trip. They
arrived at the table pre-buttered so we didn't even have to waste time with that
arduous process.
Badger continues to do spectacularly, even with her patches of road rash! Lots
of vineyards along the route today so we stopped at Shor-Lan's fruit stand for
fresh blackberries and learned that the proprietor's son has Crohn's Disease.
Weird coincidence, eh? On our way out, she mentioned something about "Bucky" and
some local cop-killings. Laura has spent most of her hour online checking out
the story and it turns out he killed a couple state troopers in the town of
Fredonia, which borders on Dunkirk. He was last seen in Hamburg which is just up
the road from here and we'll ride through there tomorrow.
We're happy to be spending the night in a motel and will be extra cautious
tomorrow.
