Old Forge to Schroon Lake, NY

Miles 86

Rode all the miles today. Beautiful weather.  Beautiful landscape can't beat that. Climbed a lot of hills, that were never ending.  You know what that means.  The down hills were awesome.  I got up to 49 mph on one of them.  Left last today.  Caught the riders at the 15 mile sag.  Tried to stay with Sue (guide/cook).  She can ride.  Came in pretty close behind her at the 45 mile van/trailer stop.  Rode with Patty for a lot of the last 41 miles.  Its just as hard staying with her as it is Sue.  I have no climbing skills like they do.  They put the hammer down and they are gone.  I usually catch back up to them on the downhill.  We made it through the Adirondack's.  Lin and Jan completed all 86  miles today.  Good for them.  We all were cheering when they came into the motel tonight.  Dinner was excellent.  Mac and cheese, peas, salad, brats.  

Came out of room and these guys were out front
 Awesome view from the patio this morning
 Sue the sag was feeding him/her grapes

We all wished this was open when we passed by.
