Today, Tuesday, we rode 54 miles from Lake Placid to Malone, NY. After the heat and climbing on Sunday, we were rewarded today by cool weather, gentle uphills and long downhills as we rolled out of the Adirondacks, and even a bit of a tailwind. We thought we might get some rain but lucked out there, too. Hoping we were outriding the rain added to the general exhilaration of a fine day.
Gray skies in the morning,
At a pull off on the road, we met Steve the hotdog man. His sign said “Don’t be a meanie, have a weenie. 10:30 am is a bit early for me to have a hotdog, but a couple of our group indulged. The trailer hitch for his cart maintains the theme.
Malone was a big mill town in the 19th and early 20th century. The roofless stone building is one of the first mills.
We didn’t see many people on bikes, but the Y is trying to change that.
