ARRIVED SAFELY IN WEBSTER AT 3:30.  Another gruelling afternoon in this relentless heat.
TWO more days to go - 133k tomorrow to Lockport and 88k on Saturday coming home.
******

The riders have stopped for lunch at Abe's Waterfront Boathouse Bar & Grill  in Sodus Point, New York.  They are eating inside and taking advantage of the air conditioned dining room.  They have a leisurely 40k to go.  They will be met by the Webster Rotarians at 4:00 o'clock.

*****
In an effort to cycle as much as possible in the morning, tyring to avoid the mid afternoon heat, the riders left Oswego at 6:30 this morning on their way to Webster, New York, which is just east of Rochester.  They will have a scenic ride through more hills and then the shoreline of Lake Ontario.   Today's route is approximately 109km.  Let's hope it is truly cooler by the lake.

Upon arrival, they will be billeted through the Rotary Club of Webster and attend a Rotary dinner meeting this evening.

We are so proud of the Tour du Lac riders and what they are accomplishing.    If you know of any one who has yet to pledge, or if you wish to make an additional pledge, please visit our web site where you can donate in favour of "ALL RIDERS" or obtain a cheque payable to the St. Catharines General Hospital Foundation on their behalf.  Their challenge is gruelling and their cause is worthy.

**Note:   Any of you who are "virtually" out there and wish to send our riders a message of support can do so by emailing your comment to  millward@vaxxine.com and I will gladly post them for you.
