Plan for the day

Another stunning day in upstate NY!!! I had 5 layers of clothes on – jacket, arm warmers, cotton over gloves, long sleeve jersey, bike jersey and a dri-fit t-shirt. As the day wore on peeled down to just t-shirt and jersey! We had a big 3 mile climb late in the day that it was toasty!!!

It was perfect bike riding!!! Right temps with the right clothes!!! The road varied and two big climbs and the rest were rollers. Lots of complaints about how hard the rollers are – having to be in your lowest gear for the last 20 feet of the roller, then into your largest gear going down! Ys, just wear you down!!! It was another last 10 miles of being gassed just wanting to be at hotel!

Tomorrow is a ferry ride into Vermont across Lake Champlain and onto New Hampshire! Expecting sunny skis!
