DAY 6 - LOCKPORT HERE WE COME - FINAL STOP BEFORE COMING HOME

Everyone had a lovely evening hosted by the Rotarians from Lockport.  Most riders were billeted.  It's Lockport's annual Canal Fest, so the town is buzzing.  However, our riders will turn in early to get a good night's sleep and head for home tomorrow morning.  They will plan to meet the Day 7 Day Riders between 11:15 and 11:30 at the Christ Church on the corner of Zimmerman and River Road, then it's homeward bound.  They plan to arrive at the St. Catharines Golf and Country Club between 1:30 and 2:00 PM.  This is very exciting for all of them, for all of us, and for all the residents of Niagara who have had a part in this very worthwhile cause.  May they have a safe journey home.

WAY TO GO Grandpa Barry!, we are so proud of you!  You are almost done with one day left, so keep on peddling and we will be cheering you on as you cross the finish line!

Love Lucas and Owen

They arrived safely in Lockport at 3:15 and are waiting for their hosts.

The group got off at 0730 and are presently having lunch in Medina, NY.  Again, in an air conditioned restaurant.  They said that after yesterday, today's cycling was a bit easier.  They are some 40k from their FINAL away destination of Lockport.  Some are being billeted this evening and some are staying at the Lockport Inn and Suites.  They will be picked up by Rotarians at 5:30 and will be guests at an outdoor BBQ/picnic under the Odd Fellow's pavilion.
