Happy Fourth of July

Today happens to be the 4th of July, and it marks the first time in years that I will not be seeing fireworks at the Hogan's house. In honor of the festivities I rode with an American Flag flying from my Camelbak; I also rode with a Canadian Flag on the other side just for fun, and the fact that I was there yesterday. The ride today was pretty brutal as we rode through some of the toughest winds we had faced yet along Lake Erie. The ride wasn't too long, but it took forever because it was tough to go fast and we got a little lost missing a turn. After the long day, we arrived in Westfield, NY. When we arrived there they had everything we could think of: foosball, ping-pong, ladder golf, and tons of food. They then let us go to the local pool to swim and shower. Only problem was that the showers were cold as ice. Oh well, can't complain too much. After dinner our hosts drove us out to the lake to see some fireworks. It was nice to have the opportunity to do that. Tomorrow we look forward to a new state.
