8/19 & 8/20 Last day to pedal - we left Silver Creek, NY in cool weather. Rain was predicted, but we were again lucky to pedal our last 40 miles dry. We stopped in Laackwanna for lunch & saw their beautiful Lady of Victory church. We received a warm welcome in Depew by Larry's friend, Gil's in-laws, Augusto & Melina. It was like celebrating the end of our ride with family. They were so good to us & we really enjoyed their hospitality. We had a fabulous dinner follwed a few hours later by great pizza & buffalo wings from the real deal in Buffalo. They are worth a trip to Buffalo. We stayed Sun. & Mon. nights & on Monday Larry & Augusto took the bike & trailer apart & boxed them for shipping. Seeing them boxed was a real visual that the trek was complete.
