Thursday,
August 5 - Oneonta NY to Massachusetts border - 105 miles Davenport NY (we
think) greets the morning
This rooster,
upstairs in an abandoned barn, was quite vocal. Rolling
out from lunch stop, east of Windham NY At last we
had developed a strategy - 60 miles to lunch with as few breaks as possible
tended to make for a shorter day on the road. Of course, cool weather and a
tailwind help a lot. East
of East Windham NY, heading down to the Hudson River Smiley
face indeed - this was the start of more than five miles of coasting downhill
at better than 30 mph. Rip Van Winkle Bridge over
Hudson River No
toll for cyclists, and a great sense of accomplishment to cross one of the
major landmarks (watermarks?) of our journey. Arrival at the NY/MA line Lydia
secured some bubbly to celebrate the completion of our 765-mile, two rider enduro. Everything after this was familiar territory. Mandatory
phone calls: "We made it!" Next Riding Day: NY line to Sturbridge MA |
