We started out missing our route and went uphill about 1/2 mile until finding out the route was downhill where we came from.
The ride went fairly well considering we went through 2 large towns: Schenactady and Albany. Remember our tube problems. . We were driving through a neighborhood and Sharon noticed a Trek bicycle shop. We were able to get a supply of the tubes we prefer and trust.
We got the chance to use a tube at 40 miles when Ron's back tire went "pop" again.
Plus it started to rain just then. The rain continued. It was not cold but sultry. Wet roads with hills made us feel not very safe so we quit earlier than we expected.
So we will reach Massachusetts tomorrow. We hope to get near Northampton but that is about 80 miles so we doubt our success. Lodging is spread out so it will be a challenge. We got help from one of the men in the bike shop and I called a bicyclist we had met who started in MA so I feel better about our route through MA. We are thankful for all the support we get!
