Early afternoon just brought more rain, and I was starting to think I would just end up driving to the hash, but around 16:30, the rain stopped and I thought it would be a good time to attempt this. I was ready to go a little after 17:00 and while the roads were still pretty wet, I had a good ride to the hash. Around mile 11, I started to feel drops of rain, but it wasn't to heavy. Making it to the hash, I was still mostly dry and luckily, the rain stopped for a bit so I could get my pictures.

Now came the tricky part because I didn't write down the streets I needed to make it back for the tron.

Next to the ramp for Rt 400 on Union Rd in West Seneca

Participants

Plans

This will be very similar to the expedition a few days ago on 2015-05-28 where I will ride a lot of the same route to get to this hash. It is right at the end of the sidewalk on the North side of the ramp so I am going to go "No Batteries" on this one. I am also going to attempt a Tron as well since this looks easy to get right to the hash and then continue on my way without worrying about crossing my path. Lastly, there are a lot of "Unions" out there so I'll make a Tale of Two Hashes challenge for this hash once I make it there.

Expedition

It was a dark and stormy day...but I wasn't planning on going to the hash until the afternoon anyway, so I just hoped it would clear up by then. In the meantime, I started a new project on the house. We are removing a small linen closet in the upstairs hall, which, due to how it was put in, requires pretty much a redo of the whole hallway.

Early afternoon just brought more rain, and I was starting to think I would just end up driving to the hash, but around 16:30, the rain stopped and I thought it would be a good time to attempt this. I was ready to go a little after 17:00 and while the roads were still pretty wet, I had a good ride to the hash. Around mile 11, I started to feel drops of rain, but it wasn't to heavy. Making it to the hash, I was still mostly dry and luckily, the rain stopped for a bit so I could get my pictures.

Now came the tricky part because I didn't write down the streets I needed to make it back for the tron. I managed to find all the proper turns and made it to Rt 62 without getting lost and just followed that back home. A few miles into the ride home however, the skies pretty much opened up and the rain really came down for the rest of my ride.

I am also issuing a Tale of Two Hashes Challenge for Union as this hash was located on Union Road.
