Expedition

I'm writing up the report late so I don't really remember what was going on earlier in the day, but being Saturday, I'm sure I was planning on an Official Saturday Meetup. I don't know if I got busy and lost track of time, or just got lazy and didn't get started on time. Either way, I definitely wanted to ride my bike because it was a nice day and not too cold. Being April in Buffalo, you never know and the weather can be 80F (27C) and sunny or 20F (-7C) and snowing.

I've been this way before and I recall looking at the map to decide after getting to the hash, I would continue a bit further down Jennings Road and cut down to Rt 62 and ride back that way instead of just turning around.

After getting to Jennings, I was looking for the Church St intersection to let me know the hash was coming up. However, when I pulled out my phone, I was surprised to see I still had a little over a mile (~1.6 KM) to go. Finding the Hash area, I had to do a bit of a GPS dance with the Hashdroid app on my phone. I must not have had a great signal because I ended up on the other side of the road, even though the map shows the hash on the shoulder heading South. Finally getting a good reading, I took a couple pictures, got a drink and continued on my way. I was able to find the turn I was looking for and made it back to Rt 62 as planned without any issues.

My girlfriend was meeting some friends out for dinner, but because I was taking longer than I expected (and/or got a late start), I decided not to rush back and skip out on that. Plus, they were meeting in Lockport which would be about an hour drive as well.

Total Distance after getting home. This is my new Bike Computer so maybe getting that attached and set up was why I was late...
