Utica, an Aunt, a barking dog and a Birthday!
September 4, 2011
After leaving Lake Placid we descended down the “mountains” towards Utica, NY. The ride was absolutley great! Started in a downpour and continued to get better as the day rolled on. We visited Dave’s Aunt Carol Anne who served us lunch. A great lunch I might add. When we arrived at Carol Ann’s we all overshot the driveway so Teresa wisely turned into a neighbors driveway to turn around. Little did she know that an extremely big black dog with huge teeth would show it face!! Needless to say Teresa’s bike was “gently” laid down. A few bruises and twisted knee and and of course bruised pride, and she was up! A REAL trooper!!!
We left after a great lunch and headed towards Rochester and found a hotel. It was Dave’s Birthday so we got a cake and shared it with all the hotel staff. Dave is still recovering from having to blow out all those candles!!!
