Summer made a reappearance today. We had a cool start at about 59 degrees, but the sun was out and it warmed up quickly into the upper 70's. This was the saving grace of the day...that and the fact that we had very little wind. Otherwise, it was climbing and more climbing.
94.9 miles and 4212 of climbing. (Everyone in the Trilogy Bicycle Club knows how happy this makes me.)
The country here is called the Finger Lakes Region of upstate New York...very pretty and green with big rolling hills. Nice, tidy little towns...all of which I failed to get a single decent picture of.
So it was a plodding kind of day, one big rolling hill after another. General fatigue has sort of settled over the group the last couple of days. No one except Joanne is injured, but muscles are just tired.
We have started talking about the end of the trip...jokes fly about how we are not going to dip the front wheels of the bikes in the Atlantic, we will just took throw whole bike in and be done with it.
I think most people feel sad that it will be over, but also kind of ready. Lots of friends and family members will be joining the group in Boston for the Finale, and everyone is looking forward to the festivities. Only 6 more days.
