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.
