Day 5: Fishkill, NY t0 Suffern, NY, 53 miles

The picture below is looking north towards West Point from a bridge on the Hudson River. We arrived here about 10:00 this morning. The next bridge south is the Tappan Zee bridge so we're not that far from NYC.

.

After we crossed the Hudson we went through a state park.A very nice ride but we had to walk our bikes across the washed out section you see on the right. It must have been quite a rain storm.

No other problems other than lots of traffic. The drivers though have been pretty friendly which would seem to be out of character for New York. We do see a good number of other cyclists on the road so perhaps they're conditioned to seeing bikes on the road.

Tomorrow we're off to Somerset, NJ.
