Day 40 Little Falls to Albany, NY- 71 milesHere we are riding along the Mohawk River on our way to Albany. The Mohawk is part of the Erie Canal system that includes the Hudson River. So if you want to get to the Great Lakes from New York City by boat, your're going to have to go up the Mohawk.
Roy rode the whole way today. He had to be helped off his bike at the rest stops. I think he has plenty of medication. He's got a pretty good relationship with his doctor back home who calls in prescriptions for him. Roy's crazy like the rest of us.
Tomorrow we're going to Brattleboro, VT. It's supposed to be one of the most interesting parts of this "cattle drive". (Those are Tracey's words, but in looking back at this trip they do seem appropriate.) We'll go through a number of small New England towns.
It's not going to be flat like today's ride. Starting are mile 35 in Bennington we have a 7.1 mile climb. It's not supposed to be steep but it should get our legs burning. Like Super Chicken would say to Fred - "You knew this job was dangerous when you took it." Remember the theme song lyrics: "He will drink his super sauce and throw the bad guys for a loss...... " (I think like Old Dick I've gone over the edge.)
It was nice to see a comment from Em and Rosemary. We drink wine too in South Carolina but the stuff we drink is called "Slap yo' mammy".
Have fun "climbing" to New England country. I am reading a bit of nostalgia from the other folks....they don't want this to be over. Roy must be hurting like crazy, drugs help I'm sure. Hope you have a better hotel tonight. Sleep well and get ready for New England. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteroy has to be helped off his bike at rest stops?..sounds like a great vacation.....i hope that when you come pick me up in between your "tours" when i would like to be wheeled out to the porch, that "roy had to be helped off his bike at rest stops"..........bet you are nicer to roy.
