We were expecting a lot of climbing on the 48 mile ride from Keeseville to Lake Placid. We weren’t expecting temperatures in the 80’s as we attacked the six mile climb at noon, of course on the sunny side of the road. I stopped and walked a couple of times, crossing the road to the shady side. The cloud shadow part of the way was great, and the ice cream and cold water as we came into town better. Even the e-bike riders were worn out today.
The road looked benign as we started.
Stare down at the roadside.
Time to smell the flowers in a well tended garden. Do cars stop, or is this a special for bikers?
We are all staying in a huge house, with plenty of space to recuperate.
We can see the 1980 Olympics ski jump from our deck.
