Baseball in Cleveland and a visit to Niagra Falls




Cleveland. A sort of mini, wanabee Chicago on one of the great lakes but again not a bad looking place. Most of the group and I headed off to see a basaball game between the Cleveland Cheifs and the Chicago White Sox. Unfortunately by the time we all got out and in, the game was in the seventh innings of nine! No matter though, it was rubbish. Again, to be fair though if an American came to the UK to watch an equivelant cricket game with an empty stadium I doubt they'd be immpressed either. After that, beer and bed.
Out of bed then and after a quick visit to a proper old school barbers for a much needed haircut it was time to head up to Niagra falls. Only 220 miles but it rained for most of it so not a great ride. Arrived at the hotel near the falls and two big disappointments. The first being that the falls were a bit of let down, not as I'd imagined them to be, (partly made up of memories from the film 'Superman' circa 1978) but even worse was the discovery that I was only 120 miles from Toronto. Where my clubbing friends Sarah and Hani live, currently with tickets for Tiesto in a few days time (I met them at a fantastic Tiesto night in Ibiza). So close! A bike service followed by 330 miles tommorrow to Catskills and no prior planning of this recent re route by me made it not really possible. Enjoy S&H and remember...London early next year, for the Ministry!
