Fairly short ride with spectacular conditions. Cool dry air that warmed to low to mid 80's with mostly sunny skies by the time our ride was through at 2:00 PM. Today's cycle time discussions ranged from the criminal justice system and jury by your "Peers" to the case for legalized intoxicants. Didn't quite solve the issues but did chew on them for a while as the miles flew by.
As we rode we had ample opportunity to get more views of the Erie Canal, some of its old locks, and reportedly, the smallest church on earth.
Herkimer is a convenient stopping point before heading on to Latham (greater Albany) tomorrow. Weather tomorrow may break our lucky streak.
Discussions at Route Rap tonight started touching on logistics for riding to beach, riding back from the beach, final banquet arrangements, who will ship bikes out, who will take people to/from beach. We're starting to know this tour is winding down and it's back to our old lives.
Let's be clear, there are some tough riding days ahead to rival any we've seen in the past. Gotta get passed those demons before we can claim victory.
Wrangling the troops for departure.
This church sits out in a duck-weed covered pond.
Like a scene from the Louisiana Bayou.
And why the two Adirondack chairs?
Local color I guess.
Snap of the snapper.
