Day 35 – Old Forge, NY to Long Lake, NY – 9/23/19


Today’s Miles: 48
Total: 1,665

Ok, I know you are all getting tired of these posts that are not changing much from day to day. It was a much better day of riding today from yesterday.  Just not so many steep climbs.  However, we did have one doozy.  It was in the last 12 miles of riding but a climb of 500 ft at once.  It was steep.  Had to stop midway and take a rest.

Pretty quiet riding today.  The roads were great.  We did ride one stretch that there was quite a bit of construction going on, but the tarmac was new and smooth.  In fact, I think cars were not on that particular stretch due to the construction which made it very quiet; except for the occasional asphalt truck.



The colors in the hills are spectacular and we haven’t seen the best yet. The photos that I post do not give it justice.  I am excited to see if the change will continue as we do.

We are staying at the Shamrock Motel in Long Lake, NY. We thought we might end up riding in the rain today, but the storm just skirted right over the top of us.  However, the evening was forecast to have more storms so we decided to get the motel.  It was a good thing we did.  About 4:00 it just poured and has continued to rain hard all evening.  We have been pretty fortunate to guess the times needed for a motel.  Tomorrow morning rain is still forecast.  Hoping it doesn’t delay us too much.


I liked the way this menu worked.
