It was another beautiful day to head out cycling from Syracuse to Little Falls, NY. In the back parking lot of the hotel was a truck with a cow and large container of ice cream being trailered, can you say "photo op".Even though it was a Monday morning and people were going to work, we were able to navigate through the traffic with the help of several helpful motorist. We were headed out to the country roads when all of a sudden a rider was down. Immediately everyone stopped and began helping in what ever way they could until Tracy arrived. Roy we are all pulling for you and hoping that your injuries are minimal. As one who has also found themselves down on the road, hopefully you are ok and heal quickly.
As we continued our ride we had great roads through a lot of small "Villages". In one of those Villages I took a picture at the local VFW Hall. As I've ridden through out the county I have seen lots of flags, American, Marine and POW. This picture is very special 
as it has flags from every branch of the military.
as it has flags from every branch of the military. Before our sag we saw a small little church sitting in the middle of a pond. While we were looking at the pond a Blue Heron scooped up a fish from the pond and flew over to the dock where the Church sits in the middle of the pond. He didn't eat the fish right away, guess he doesn't like to have an audience. Unfortunately my picture didn't turn out very well, I couldn't zoom in enough for the picture to show what the Heron was doing.
The rest of our ride went fast on wide shoulders and not too bad road services or to much debris. I road the 78 miles in4 hours and 55 minutes at a speed of 15.9 mph.
Sorry the "Snake Report" has nothing new to report, I think I'm finally out of snake country! But I still won't go into the bushes or the tall grass to use the "Green Door"!
