Lunch in Cannastota. 30 more miles for today. Maybe this is the bar for Patrick’s first beer. Nope, almost 90 here so I think he needs to wait until later.

49 miles fairly painless, except for the 90+ sun down on our backs. Late start due to finding my rear tire flat at 7.0 when we ready to pull out. Patrick’s Ipod was taken out of his bike bag today around 10 when we stopped at a Chittenango store (However he just realized this). Thieves and FAST auto drivers next to you on a bicycle suck. Spending night in Rome, NY. Maybe I’ll have a Caesar salad for dinner. Friday should be hilly going through Canajoharie for 65 miles. Point Patrick left out of Day 4, dead frogs in the road have a 95% probability of being on their backs! Why? Is it their last effort in life, the one final kick? Or are the dead because they were on their backs? These and other thoughts are the thoughts that one ponders while peddling.
