Landing on the sidewalk in South Buffalo, I saw this was going to be easy to get to and was definitely in range for a bike ride. Then I remembered I had plans to go see a movie after work so the bike ride was out. Tuesdays are bonus days as it's half off popcorn and soda. I then talked to my friend that I was going with and he decided it would be better if we could reschedule for next week. No problem, bike ride is back on!

Being on the sidewalk, it was short work to zero in on the location where I got my pictures and continued on my ride back home.

Participants

Expedition

Landing on the sidewalk in South Buffalo, I saw this was going to be easy to get to and was definitely in range for a bike ride. Then I remembered I had plans to go see a movie after work so the bike ride was out. Tuesdays are bonus days as it's half off popcorn and soda. I then talked to my friend that I was going with and he decided it would be better if we could reschedule for next week. No problem, bike ride is back on!

Basically it was a straight shot from my house in Hamburg up Rt 62 which turns into South Park and just follow that street to the hash. When I got there I realized it was directly across the street from this British company called The English Pork Pie Company that sells meat pies and fish and 'chips' which are quite good. If I had known that setting out, I would have brought my bike lock and bought dinner and had a Pub Hash too.

Being on the sidewalk, it was short work to zero in on the location where I got my pictures and continued on my ride back home.

gotta add pictures for the last few expeditions...will get to it...eventually.
