DAY 46. HERKIMER, NY TO ALBANY, NY


I can't believe we only have two more full days of riding before we cross our final State line into Massachusetts.  In some ways this has been a very long adventure but in some ways it feels like we left LA last week.

Today was a 78 mile ride that paralleled the Hudson River, very pretty and picturesque.  We're also starting to pass through more small towns during our ride.  The day was mostly overcast with some rain this morning and a little sun peaking through this afternoon.

We arrived in Albany around 3:30 pm, cleaned our bikes from all the sand and debris and then had a vey pleasant surprise.  A dear friend and business associated, Mark Templeton, who lives about an hour from Albany came and took us out for dinner.
We enjoyed a delicious dinner at THE REEL SEAFOOD restaurant......one of the best meals I've had in 46 days.  Thanks for the great meal and even better company, Mark.



Off to climb some big hills into Vermont tomorrow and probably in the rain.

Best,

M+M

  1. It was fun going to dinner on restaurant row in Latham ( Albany ). Thanks for picking it out. Mike, you have a great nose for good restaurants. It was special running into the Crossroads team in the parking lot. To me, after reading your blog these last 45 days they are celebs. When I yelled out across the Lot "Is Ross there?. great videos" they look a teenyweenie bit startled.
    To me they all looked just like movie stars in the pictures.. a Hollywood moment me being a great fan of this accomplishment. Hope you made it through the rubble to Bennington OK
