Setting up camp, registration, and a social occupied Friday evening. Saturday there were various choices of routes. I did the 81 mile loop between Lakes Seneca and Keuka.

We woke up to rain Saturday morning and it rained most of Saturday. I thought I had my digital camera in a waterproof pocket of my rain pancho, but it turned out not to be waterproof! After about 40 miles, at Geneva, I stopped and decided it would be a good idea to take a picture. It was at this point I discovered the camera was all wet. It did not like being wet and did strange things. In fact it wouldn't turn off, I had to remove the battery to calm it down. After a couple of days, it dried out and was back to normal (as far as I can tell). So there was no permanent harm done, but this meant I have hardly any pictures of the ride.

On Sunday, there was again a choice of routes, but since Jane wasn't feeling well, we decided to break camp and head to Albany to visit our son Jeff.

	Here's the track recorded by my GPS overlain on a USGS topo map. The track is the gold colored line between Lakes Seneca and Keuka. The ride started out at the Watkins Glen Hidden Valley Group Camp at the bottom, went up to Dundee and then around the loop counterclockwise back to Dundee and then retraced the path from Dundee back to the camp. It was supposed to go to the Lake Shore Park at the very top of Lake Seneca, but I decided not to bother since the weather wasn't very good and I'd been there many times before. The stub at Himrod is where I made a wrong turn. I had lunch in Penn Yan and the little western jog a bit north of Porter is where I stopped at the Windmill food and crafts fair (open only on Saturday) where I had some Capuccino and bought some fudge to bring back to camp. The map scale is 40 pixels per mile. (Note this is a large file: 2.3 Mbytes.)		The altitude and total climb for Saturday's ride. Note that the the first and last 15 miles or so of the altitude profile are mirror images of each other since we rode this far, looped and retraced the route back to the camp. The total climb here is about 300 feet greater than what my GPS read at the end of the day.
	On Saturday morning we woke up to light rain. I got everything under the fly, then we had breakfast and here's the campsite just before I headed out on the ride.		Linda and Gordon from Canada get ready to ride their tandem in the rain.
	Here's our campsite. I believe this is either Saturday evening or Sunday morning. I was still trying to see if the digital camera would come back to life.		My bike on Sunday morning. Resting after a hard, wet 80 miles on Saturday!
