Day 5, Thursday, July 26, 2001 |
Rain in the evening
which ended around 10 the next morning. Fortunately, this
was our two-day layover day. There was an optional Century
that 3 people did and one 45 mile trip that 5 or 6 decided to
do. |

Watkins Glen, our
destination for days 4 and 5, is a famous auto racing area.
Plaques were embedded in the sidewalk dedicated to some of the famous

roads in the town
itself, but for the safety of all concerned it was moved to a
race course in 1956. Watkins Glen International
