Day 4: Windsor Locks To Fishkill, NY 93 miles

I didn't write anything yesterday because I didn't have any energy left. They said this segment would be the toughest and they weren't kidding. Several of the group said the hell with it at various points and rode in the van.

What made it tough is that we had to cross through the Berkshire Mountains in western Connecticut. They're not much as mountains go but some of the climbs were steep and some were long. In total about 6000 feet of climbing. The Berkshires are a weekend retreat for NYC so there was a lot of traffic too.

A bit of trivia. Why is it called Fishkill? They may kill some fish here but "kill" is Dutch for "creek". So there you are. Remember that the next time someone asks you about Fishkill, NY.

Today should be easier - 53 miles to Suffern, NY.
