 Extended Round the Lake
Still felt bad but needed to burn and sweat out some of my recent overindulgences. Started to feel better after climbing the up the SR14 hill out of Watkins. I'm sure the stiff headwind helped quite a bit. Kept a good pace up the west side of Seneca and appreciated the aroma of the grapes. Had a real good average speed to Geneva for the effort I put in but it gradually eroded away as I headed into a crosswind on the way to Ovid. Usually stop in Ovid and get fluids but as it was cooler than usual I thought I could make the icecream stand in T-burg and top off there. Started to cramp a little as I neared Interlaken so I stopped off to purchase a Coke from a machine on the main drag. Machine readily took my two dollars but failed to give me my drink. Thought I lost my money but when I hit the coin return I was pleasantly surprised that it worked. Unfortunately it returned my money all in nickels. Filled my jersey pockets with them and headed off to T-burg still a little dry. Didn't have any more issues with cramping as maybe the break allowed my legs to clear. Stopped In T-burg filled my water bottles and had a raspberry milkshake. Felt pretty worn out so I headed home the flat route through Reynoldsville rather than go over the hill through Mecklenburg as I had originnally intended. It was pretty dusky as I got home as the days are rapidly getting shorter.
