Such fine riding

Sixty four miles today from Malone across the border to Morrisburg, Ontario.  It was cool and cloudy but no rain even threatened, and there was lots of variety on the route — the kind of ride you wish could go on and on.  That tomorrow is the last ride of the trip made today even more special.

These don’t photograph too well, but the treat of the day was freshly made, still hot, cinnamon donut holes, along with good coffee, at a diner that looked most unpromising from the outside.

This house in Bombay, NY goes all out for Halloween.  This isn’t the full display I saw, and the owner told us he is still working on it.  Be sure to read the fine print on the hearse.

Crossing the bridge into Cornwall, Ontario and looking back into New York.

We role along the Long Sault Parkway, a road and series of causeways connecting ten islands in the St. Lawrence.  It is right up there as one of the nicest stretches of riding I have ever done.

Great views everywhere you look.

Sharon and her electric bike on one of the causeways.

I’m pretty sure I saw more great blue herons today than I have ever seen in a single day, 

at least a dozen.

A nice welcome at our hotel.
