We woke this morning to the realization that this is our last day of homelessness and hours of fresh air. Who knew we would have such mixed feelings about having a roof over our heads and a soft bed once again. But reality is such and in just 33 or so miles our trip will…
Today’s ride reminded us how much we appreciate the back roads with no traffic, although the generosity of drivers makes just about any route enjoyable or not. We transitioned a number of times between quiet and busy and for the most part the drivers made it all a pleasure. Lots of history in this area…
Maintaining our causal touring mornings we missed the continental breakfast but between provisions and the generosity of the hotel clerk were managed to eat too much just the same. Cleaned up and got outside to a chilly morning, the thermometer said 52 degrees. BBBBrrrrr. Just 0.8 miles down the road we crossed into Massachusetts. The…
We enjoyed our morning at the B&B, not really wanting to get out of bed at 7, but, having agreed to seven thirty for breakfast, we had no choice. The lady made us a nice breakfast and we sat around the table eating and recounting our adventures for her. Before we knew it it was…
Woke up this morning to the sound of some anglers just before the alarm went off. We had left the tent fly only partially on to help with ventilation and during the night it had blown off so we had a nice view of our lock and the surrounding forest. While we were admiring the…
Somehow we managed to get up and out this morning before lunch. In fact we were at a breakfast place before 8:30… Let’s get an amen!! While we were at the restaurant we inquired into the reason for the boxing centric community. The waitress told us that there were a high number of local guys…
Out of bed at the ungodly hour of, ohhhhh… 8:15 this morning, then headed over to the continental breakfast. Rushed through that in about an hour. Hmmmm, what were we supposed to do today?? Oh that’s right that pesky bike thingy again. The bikes are absolutely filthy and have turned quite gray after all the…
The day dawned, cool & misty but we were nice and dry inside the covered picnic area. It was our fifteen minutes of fame, we slept on the stage in Macedon! The morning excitement included watching the same Carver boat go through the lock that we followed yesterday . Another beautiful trail ride through the…
We are certainly not going to get any awards for our morning motivation so far. We barely made it to our 7:30 breakfast reservations, then proceeded to chat with the owners for another hour. Ran back to the room to get the blog finished and sucked up another hour and still didn’t finish. Couldn’t delay…
Whoa!! Forty one miles! We’re getting a little crazy here. We did get a late start after handling the logistics of going to the bike shop where Cyndy’s bike was reassembled. Then unloading the rental car across the street on the bike path. Then dropping off the rental car and riding the twelve miles back…
