A little bit of everything—August 30

 Today’s ride was just 32 miles to a motel in an undetermined location north of Schroon Lake.  Because the ride was short, we were able to hang out in North Creek until almost 11 am, thereby missing most of the day’s rain.  Our miles were well earned, with some steep climbing, but also great downhills.  We had excellent pavement, terrible pavement, dirt roads, sun, a few minutes of rain, headwinds, tailwinds, pretty good variety for a short ride. 

  A view of Schroon Lake, which has its own flag.

What a nice driftwood sculpture.

Adirondack Road lived up to its name, with lots of hills and trees.  The road is still wet from the shower we rode through, the most rain we’ve ridden in on the whole trip.  Of course, we did cop out on the end of Hurricane Fred, when we could have gotten really wet.
