Play day

After yesterday’s strenuous ride, most of us were very content to wander a bit around Lake Placid and then return to our very spacious house, where we prepared our third chili supper of the trip.  When she knows where we will have cooking facilities, Nancy asks for volunteer cooks.  We did not compare notes on our plans, and three of us came prepared to make chili.  Fortunately, each version was quite different; we didn’t vote our favorite, as we agreed they were all excellent.  Bikers will eat almost everything and call it excellent.

Mirror Lake, visible from most of downtown Lake Placid.

We visited the Olympic Park and Museum near our lodgings, site of the ice skating events at the 1932 and 1980 Olympics.  

The museum was very well done.  The hockey fans in the group watched most of a looping replay of the Miracle on Ice, and I joined them for the final period.  It was still exciting, especially as we had just seen the venue.

The luge was scary just to lie on, the bobsled seemed manageable, as long as I wasn’t the pusher.

I now know that a crowler is a 32 ounce can of beer.
