Day 74: Castleton, NY to Dalton, Massachusetts. 36 miles

We left NY behind today. We will not miss it. Riding in NY was difficult because of poor roads and more cities. The 4 flats in 2 days reflected the road conditions. Ron had not had a flat since early in our trip.

The day was rainy and the included many Berkshire hills. At the NY/MA border we climbed a 2 1/2 mile hill.

We have planned the rest of our travel days. We will try to be conservative in mileage so we end successfully.  As planned we will 2+ days in the Boston area and 2+ days in Salem.

Tomorrow we will aim for Northampton or Amherst.  More hills and rain expected.

What happened to Sunday's post? (I'm confused--imagine that!) Will you post twice today? I'm glad you're looking forward to better rides--since N.Y. Blessings on your "finish."

I have thought all along your photos by the signs is something we would do as we travel. Love those. Interesting your tire issues and how you can see that reflected in the States road conditions.I hope you have keep a tire changing total. Those kinds of facts are interesting highlights in the end.
