The Lake Ontario Trekkers had a sad and beautiful farewell this morning at the Tibbetts Point Lighthouse. Two of the group's members took a spill that left one of them with a fractured thumb and the other with a sprained wrist -- minor injuries, but enough to send them both home early. There were warm, heartfelt hugs all around, and everyone agreed to keep in touch. We'll miss them, but we know they'll heal up better at home.
The rest of the group got back on their bikes and continued on down the New York side of Lake Ontario. They made great time to Southwick Beach State Park, where they ate dinner with fresh corn. Tomorrow is their longest-mileage day, so they plan to go to bed early tonight and wake up ready for the challenge!
